Trade Stages
This mods allows you to lock trades behind the progression of the villager's career (Novice, Apprentice, Journeyman, Expert, Master).
This requires a config file at: config/tradestages.json
For Wandering Trader use profession name: "wandering_trader"
For modded professions, use the registry name of the profession, e.g. "immersiveengineering:machinist"
Wandering traders do not directly have career trade levels, instead they have common and rare trades, marked as trade level 1 and 2 respectively.
Here is an example (link):

"trades": {
"armorer": {
"1": [
"stage_armorer_trade_level_0",

"2": [
"basic_armorer_trades"
]
},
"librarian": {
"5": [
"enchantment_lock"
]
}
}
