Do Zombie Villagers Despawn?

Zombie villagers that are in the process of converting do not despawn if the player moves far away from them. A zombie villager cannot be cured by switching from Easy, Normal, or Hard difficulty to Peaceful; they simply despawn like all other monsters.

How do you keep a zombie villager from Despawning?

Villager zombies will never despawn in two cases:
  1. If you use name tag.
  2. If they holding items or wearing armor. (Some Villager zombies can pick up dropped items from the ground e.g rotten flesh)

Do cured zombie villagers Despawn?
