Wandering Trader should give Potions

There are currently no villagers that would give potions for emeralds even though some brewing stands are located in some of the houses found. The wandering trader known for it's random trades could be an opportunity to have a villager that could give potions. The potions would cost from 5-10 emeralds depending on what potion it is or how useful it may be to the player.

Wandering traders fit the theme of having potions since at night the trader will drink a potion of invisibility to avoid mobs meaning that the trader knows how to brew.

Because of how random the wandering trader is the potions that the wandering trader may give out is:

  • Turtle Master
  • Fire Resistance
  • Night Vision
  • Invisibility
  • Slow Falling
  • Jump Boost
  • Water Breathing

    How about Wandering Trader caravans? (Especially when you consider the fact that llamas can already caravan.) One wandering trader could have the current trades, another could be the potion seller, another could be the florist, etc.

    I like this! However, not all potions should have an equal probability of appearing -- Invis potions should appear more because the wandering trader uses it so much, while the Turtle Master should appear less. Turtle Master gives us access to (if my memory serves me well) Resistance IV along with slowness, which would be pretty OP early game. 

    The trader should also sell Milk if he doesn't already since he uses that frequently.
