# AnimatedBans<\/p>\n
**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**.<\/p>\n
It does **not** implement bans by itself \u2014 instead, it can work with **any punishment plugin** (LiteBans, AdvancedBan, LibertyBans, Vanilla `\/ban`, custom commands, etc.) by changing the command template in the configuration.<\/p>\n
