It causes spiders to create webs at the feet of players (or other things) that they attack. This makes spiders a little bit more dangerous, since it's harder to run away from them, and it also makes webs a renewable resource.
You need Minecraft Forge installed first. Once that's done, just drop webshooter-version.jar in your Minecraft instance's mods/ directory. Optionally, you can configure it to taste (see below).
You can configure the chance that each attack creates a web, from 0.0 (effectively disabling the mod), to 1.0 (every attack generates a web when possible). The default is 0.15. Also, you can configure whether replaceable blocks (like snow) can be overwritten with webs.
You need a JDK installed first. Start a command prompt or terminal in the
directory you downloaded the source to. If you're on Windows, type
gradlew.bat build. Otherwise, type ./gradlew build. Once it's done, the mod
will be saved to build/libs/webshooter-version.jar.

Yes, even if you monetize it with adf.ly or something, and you don't need to ask me for my permission first.
