Minecraft Modding: Issue with blockstate not being able to work - minecraft

Question

So, I was trying to make a mod that adds a "workshop" block and I thought it would be great if it visually behaved like a vanilla furnace but with different textures. I've used vanilla blockstate for such result and I've ended up with it throwing blockstate location exception.
Blockstate file:
{
"variants": {
"facing=north": { "model": "magicmod:block/workshop" },
"facing=south": { "model": "magicmod:block/workshop", "y": 180 },
"facing=west": { "model": "magicmod:block/workshop", "y": 270 },
"facing=east": { "model": "magicmod:block/workshop", "y": 90 }
}
}
Exception trace:

Even using the vanilla furnace blockstate straight copypasted resulted in similar exception.
Vanilla furnace blockstate file:
{
"variants": {
"facing=north": { "model": "furnace" },
"facing=south": { "model": "furnace", "y": 180 },
"facing=west": { "model": "furnace", "y": 270 },
"facing=east": { "model": "furnace", "y": 90 }
}
}

Solved! I did it by adding all the necessary code for block metadata.
