The old zombie villager is a removed or unobtainable variant of the zombie that behaves similar to modern zombie villagers, but can be cured into old villagers.

When a group in the normal spawn cycle spawns zombies, there is a 5% chance to instead spawn a group of zombie villagers‌^{[Pocket Edition only]}, or a single zombie villager‌^{[Java Edition only]}. (This increases to a 20% chance in old growth taiga biomes)‌^{[Java Edition only]}

If any type of zombie kills a villager, there is a chance for the villager to transform into a zombie villager.

In Java Edition a zombified zombie villager does not despawn if the player has traded with it at least once prior to its death, but unlike all other persistent mobs it still counts toward the hostile mob cap. If the zombie villager picks up any item however, it remains persistent but is excluded from the mob cap. In Pocket Edition all zombified villagers are persistent.

A zombie villager appears alongside a cleric villager in every igloo basement (a normal zombie villager in Pocket Edition and a cleric zombie villager in Java Edition). One of them transforms into a leatherworker, due to the workstation (a cauldron). They also spawn in zombie villages. Zombie villagers generated in both of these structures do not despawn naturally.

Any picked-up equipment has a 100% chance of dropping on death or when cured and drops with the same damage level it had when picked up.

Zombie villagers do not spawn with equipment in Bedrock Edition. In Java Edition, a zombie villager can spawn with any of the following:

• 👁 Image
  Carved Pumpkin ^{[note 1]}
• 👁 Image
  Jack o'Lantern‌^{[Java Edition only][note 1]}
• 👁 Image
  Iron Shovel
• 👁 Image
  Iron Sword
• 👁 Image
  Random Armor
• Zombie villagers have an 8.5% chance of dropping their naturally-spawned equipment (other than Halloween pumpkins), and drop it with a random durability. Each level of Looting increases the chance by 1 percentage point (11.5% with Looting III).

Adult zombie villagers drop 5XP and an additional 1–3XP per naturally-spawned equipment. Baby zombie villagers drop 12XP experience.
