[1.12.2] How to avoid creating a blockstate for each texture?

Good day. I have 500 simple blocks with different textures. At 1.7.10 I could just put the texture in assets folder with name of the block and it worked. How can I simply do this in 1.12.2 without creating a lot of blockstates?

    To reduce the number of files you need to create, you can use Forge's blockstates format to specify a base model (e.g. minecraft:cube_all) and the textures for it without needing to create a model for each block.

    Please don't PM me to ask for help. Asking your question in a public thread preserves it for people who are having the same problem in the future.

    Is there any recommended way to generate blockstate json and write it into assets?
