Distinguish Zombie Villagers from Living Ones

Visual Differences in the Pack

Zombie villagers receive infected versions of the human player model, making them visually distinct from healthy villagers. The pack maintains the vanilla 16×16 pixel style while showing clear signs of undeath—discoloration, tattered clothing, and zombie-specific features.

Managing Infected Populations

When you encounter zombie villagers, their human appearance makes them easier to spot and separate from regular mobs. If you're curing zombie villagers, the visual transformation from infected to healthy human form is more dramatic and satisfying than the vanilla model change.

Practical Identification

In dark areas or during night raids, the distinctive zombie villager textures help you quickly identify which mobs are infected villagers versus standard zombies. This is especially useful if you're running a village defense or planning to cure and recruit zombie villagers into your settlement.

Keep infected villagers isolated until you're ready to cure them, and the visual distinction makes quarantine areas feel more purposeful.
