Test custom enchantment equipment restrictions with ordinary players

An equipment restriction should reject the wrong item without blocking the intended one. Test both cases without operator privileges before distributing a new enchantment book.
Check the installed content
AdvancedEnchantments separates enchantment definitions, groups, book presentation and permissions. Keep test equipment away from player inventories until both application and activation work. Use the reference for your installed plugin version instead of assuming a configuration from another server will match.
Work through the change
Read the installed-release setting reference for the enchantment and record its eligible equipment types. Include any condition or integration that further restricts use.
Create a staging book and two disposable items: one intended eligible item and one deliberately ineligible item. Remove unrelated custom enchants from both.
Attempt application through the ordinary player route on each item. Record the message and resulting inventory rather than relying only on whether the display lore changes.
Use the eligible item in the intended activity, then test any supported offhand or armour-slot case relevant to the design. A valid item in the wrong slot may still fail to activate.
Verify the result
The eligible item should accept and activate the enchantment where intended. The ineligible item should be rejected without consuming unexpected extra books or modifying unrelated equipment.
If the result differs
If both accept it, inspect the actual loaded restriction and administrative bypass permissions. If neither accepts it, check the item type, group and parser errors before weakening all restrictions.
Keep a recovery path
Restore the earlier restriction and retain the test results for comparison. Keep valuable equipment outside the experiment and remove temporary test permissions when the ordinary-player checks are complete.
