Rashiik and me made a 40x40x6 storage room with chests on the walls and lights that could be turned on and off (to avoid our base being found through shadow glitches)
It turned that mobs started spawning when the lights were off, including zombie villagers. Now we have more than 30 villagers on our base. I think this is the most efficient method if you live underground. I wouldn't risk opening any tunnels to the surface...
To add on to what @_Confederacy_ said. If you don't like the trades your villager has you can infect them again with a zombie and re-cure them to try to get better trades. For instance if you have a librarian you can re-cure them to try to get a better librarian. What you can't do is re-cure a librarian to try to get a farmer instead.

Does it really work? How do I infect it without killing it?
@bSan420 Does it really work? How do I infect it without killing it?
Feel free to test for yourself. On hard difficulty a zombie has a 100% chance to turn a villager into a zombie villager.
@bSan420 Be careful though. When you do this they will always have the same robe colour, but not the same career. Meaning if you infect and cure a farmer, it could turn into a shepherd.
Basically a librarian or priest will always be a librarian or priest. But anything else might change.
If so it's awesome! I will try it later.
Holy cow guys, thanks for all the advice. I had *just* found a zombie spawner the other day, but I made it into a squid spawner. Might have to go hunting for another spawner now, or try the "lights out" method.
Truly, thank you all!
Either method works well tbh but having a squid spawner is super handy too soo
How do make it a squid spawner?!
Find a grinder, then ask a mod/admin to change it for you using a spawn egg you get from a craftycrate.
No plz mine is staying as a zomboi spawner xp

Wait how is it helpful? All you get is ink sacs, right? And unless you just like dye its not really good, and even then any bkdy of water holds hundreds of squids lol. You dont get xp do you? I forget.
no xp, but ink sacs come in handy; lots of people that don't feel like going out and farming or risking drowning (no matter how small the risk). Definitely don't regret my decision. :)

I do a good amount of dying so i wouldn't mind having one tbh
Jam u better not do it to the main spawner
I don't have a squid egg to do it with >.<
And even if I did I wouldn't .
Good boy :)
Coming back to the villager breeding google 'village mechanics minecraft' - this should take you to a helpful article.
**Update** Scrapped the breeding idea and created a 60x60 "killing field" 10 zombie villagers today, alone. :) Thanks for the great suggestions, really!
I once bred 10 villagers in a day because I accidentally killed 14 of them using lava while digging out transport system.
