Cobweb Texture

Cobwebs texture/shape should change based on the position of blocks around it. Placing a cobweb in a corner should show it sticking to those blocks, like a real cobweb would, if that makes sense. It would be a sort of connecting texture; placing two cobwebs next to each other would have a similar effect as placing two fences next to each other. Same as how a fence will connect to any wall you place it next to, cobwebs should be shown sticking to whatever wall they're placed next to. It would make them feel a lot less clunky and overall make them fit in better with their environment, especially in the new mineshafts in 1.17. Looking at the new blocks (grimstone, chains, the ore textures, etc) compared to cobwebs is a bit jarring.

    Yes, give cobwebs blockstates. The block conceit is starting to feel outdated as the game evolves. Over time we have been getting finer and more distinct decorative options, like new plants, pointed dripstone and others. The cube cobweb is still useful for traps and other contraptions, but giving it a similar directional function like stairs could give us some really great ambience in ancient/evil/creepy/neglected/apocalyptic builds and maps, and would fit in many existing structures like dungeons (especially spider spawners).
