Minecraft – How rare are zombie villagers

minecraft-bedrock-edition

I want to find a zombie villager, but can someone tell me how rare they are, and what difficulty are they most common in?

Best Answer

The difficulty zombie villagers are most common on is Hard/Hardcore mode. On this difficulty, they have the highest spawn rate and the fact that any villagers who get killed by a zombie will get turned into a zombie villager.

Zombies have a 5% chance of naturally spawning as zombie villagers. Zombie Villagers are in the Zombie group when it comes to spawning, so for every 20 zombies, 1 zombie will be a zombie villager. (1 in 20).

But this can change if they spawn in a desert biome.


Desert Biomes

In desert biomes, Zombies have an 80% chance of spawning as husks, which cannot turn into zombie villagers. So in deserts, the chance of getting a zombie villager is 1 in 100. (five times less)


To Note: Zombie Villagers also have a 5% chance of spawning as baby form.

Also to note: Zombies make about 13% of mobs that are around you (according to the wiki, and at night)
