Trade Peek
by RealMikoto
Trade Peek shows the full trade list of a villager as soon as it takes a profession, with later levels visible but locked.
What it does
Trade Peek lets players see every offer a villager will make before spending emeralds on it. When a villager binds to a workstation and chooses its profession, the mod pre-generates trades for all five levels once. Level 1 offers are usable right away, exactly as in vanilla, while offers for levels 2 to 5 appear in the trade window greyed out, with a label such as Lv.3 required that gives the needed villager level.
The previewed offers are the same trades the vanilla game would roll when the villager levels up, so a player can check whether a librarian will eventually sell Mending without repeatedly trading toward each level. Villagers that existed before the mod was installed are handled gracefully, and villagers still level up through normal trading, which reveals the previewed offers one at a time. The preview state is saved with the villager and synced from the server to each player's client in multiplayer. Wandering traders are not affected, and only villager professions receive a preview. The mod changes nothing about game balance; it reveals information that was already rolled but hidden.
Key features
Locked trades shown
Offers for levels 2 to 5 appear in the trade window, dimmed and tagged with the villager level they need.
Immediate level 1 trades
Level 1 offers work immediately, as they do in vanilla, so trading at the first level is unchanged.
Saved preview state
The preview is stored with each villager in the world, so it persists across sessions.
Server-synced lock state
The server syncs the lock state to each player's client, so multiplayer lists match what the server has.

See every trade a villager will ever offer — before you invest a single emerald. In vanilla Minecraft, a villager only reveals trades for their current level. To find out whether a newly-bonded librarian will eventually sell Mending, you have to level them up through repeated trading — spending emeralds and time —…
