Zombie Villager Variants
by OfficePigeon
Zombie Villager Variants adds Drowned Villager and Husk Villager mobs that convert from drowned and husk zombies, with zombie villager variants modeled on the vanilla Drowned and Husk zombie variants.
What it does
Drowned husks and drowning villagers can become zombie villagers, and drowning zombie villagers can become drowned villagers. Drowned Husks convert villagers directly into zombie villager variants, and both cured regular villagers and zombie villagers follow the same conversion path. Each variant mob corresponds to a Drowned or Husk zombie variant, including the copy conversion.
Bouldering Zombie Villager, Frozen Zombie Villager, Jungle Zombie Villager and Lobber Zombie Villager are the named zombie villager variants in the mod, each paired with a matching zombie type. The Drowned Villager and Husk Villager both spawn naturally with odds similar to the vanilla zombie. Other variants appear naturally, or can be spawned with spawn eggs from the creative menu or with commands.
