For anyone still looking for the equivalent for 1.19.2+, the render type should be set for the model. In datagen, this can be done by using ModelBuilder::renderType, otherwise just add the line directly to the json file. As for the validity of this question, the idiomatic solution is presented nowhere online; ModelBuilder::renderType is never addressed when discussing block render types meaning that the solution I have provided is the first mentioned usage. Furthermore, there are no external references to this function meaning that to discover its existence requires a deep search through Forge's code. Therefore it is not only understandable but expected that most beginner modders would struggle to find this function given the already poor documentation of Forge's API.
