What to do

1. Secure a zombie villager under a roof where it cannot burn or attack you.
2. Apply Weakness with a splash potion, then use a normal golden apple on the affected zombie villager.
3. Protect it while the cure finishes and it becomes a villager.

Before you repeat it

Use a normal golden apple, not an enchanted one. Do not kill the patient or confuse an ordinary zombie with a zombie villager.

Evidence and editions

Mojang and the Wiki agree on Weakness followed by a golden apple, then waiting for conversion. The Wiki distinguishes the ordinary apple from the enchanted item and recommends protecting the patient. No conversion time or current PS5 unlock guarantee is invented. Stable Bedrock 26.60 notes and recent indexed reports were reviewed on November 3, 2026. No in-game test was performed. PS4 players must match the trophy in their own stack; see Minecraft PS5 vs PS4 trophy differences. Xbox points and Java advancement equivalence are not established by this PS5 record.
