AnimatedBans

# 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. --- **Github** - https://github.com/kidepcode/AnimatedBans --- ## Showcse (blocking disabled) https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f146a83b-c5ea-468e-8c28-adb31a04ab9a ## Features - Paper **1.21.x** support (**Java 21**) - MiniMessage for titles and messages - Animation flow: - freezes the target (movement + interactions) - lifts the target upwards - plays a particle animation (“Rune Cage”) - shows title/subtitle from the beginning and every interval - optional small end explosion - optional kill target before the ban command - executes configured ban command --- ## Requirements - **Paper** `1.21.x` - **Java 21** --- ## Commands ### Main - `/animatedbans ban <player> <time> <reason...>` - `/animatedbans reload` ### Examples - `/animatedbans ban Notch 7d Cheating (KillAura)` - `/animatedbans ban Steve 30m Xray` --- ## Permissions - `animatedbans.ban` — allows running the animation ban command (default: `op`) - `animatedbans.reload` — allows reloading configuration (default: `op`) --- ## Compatibility with any ban/punishment plugin AnimatedBans only executes a command after the animation ends.
