Web shooter in MCreator

you could create a ranged item with the bullet texture of cobweb and add procedure when it hit block it place a cobweb at x y z and same for the living entity.

This should do the trick for some time.. It's the simplest solution I could find.. You can make it smoother and complicated. But it worked for me.

Of course you can change the velocity with the distance
