AnimatedBans
AnimatedBans is a lightweight Paper 1.21.x plugin that plays a configurable ban animation (freeze + lift + visual effect + title/subtitle) and then executes a server command.
It does not implement bans by itself — instead, it can work with any punishment plugin (LiteBans, AdvancedBan, LibertyBans, Vanilla /ban, custom commands, etc.) by changing the command template in the configuration.
