• Splash Potion of Weakness

Afterward, craft some arrows with sticks, flint, and feathers. When everything is done, the last thing is to take your arrows and dip them into the cauldron to coat them with the potion of weakness.

Steps to cure zombie villagers

Here is step by step that you will have to follow to cure a zombie villager using your new supplies:

1. The first thing that you should do is to find a zombie villager. Compared to the normal one, zombie villagers have about a 1 in 20chance of spawning. The best option is to look around your village at night.
2. Once you have found it, it is time for you to lure the zombie villager somewhere safe. No one wants for the process of curing the zombie villager to be interfered. During the process, iron golems still see the zombie villager as an enemy and the other enemy mobs will still attack you.
3. The next thing that needs to be done is to trap the zombie villager. The curing process is not an instant one, so you are recommended to trap the zombie villager while it happens. There are a lot of tricks, but you might want to consider iron bars to speed up the process.
4. After that, apply the weakness effect. Regardless of the method that you prefer to apply the weakness effect to the zombie, now is the perfect time to do it.
5. Once the weakness effect has been applied and the zombie villager is weakened, feed the golden apple to the zombie villager. You will be able to see a particle effect around the zombie villager once you do it.
6. The six steps are to wait and watch. The whole process takes up about five minutes to be done. Keep in mind that during this time the zombie villager is still hostile, so please avoid exposing it to the sunlight or letting it out of its enclosure. In the end, the zombie villager will turn into a normal villager once the time has passed.
