Depends. If you want nice animations then it's pretty difficult, but if you want it to look static then it's pretty simple. For example in the ice-make plugin when I use "Ice-make lance" I could have made it a static line of ice that went in the direction where the player was looking to, but I created an animation by creating falling block entity that goes to the proper direction and only hits entities when he's close.
