How can i add alot of almost identical json files fast?

[Drachenbauer]

Hello

 

For my new mod i have to create alot of almost identical json-files (only different block-materials):

blockstates, block-models,  item-models and recipes, 102 each.

But copy, paste, rename and modify each single file takes alot of time and eclipse freezes often, if i try to paste a copyed file.

Then it takes alot of time until it shows the rename-dialog, or i have to close and restart it.

 

Is there any faster and efficienter way to create all theese files?

You're (hopefully) a programmer. Write some code to do it for you.

But i´m not sure, how to run code, that´s not part of the mod...

There are the Forge data generators that were made for exactly this purpose.

Now i got my own code to work, that uses the already existing files to create new ones with theese little changes.
