Description

https://github.com/PrismarineJS/minecraft-data/blob/381f51e9c7481098c5b0690fd074b4d943d7171d/data/pc/1.12/blocks.json#L413-L416

May be instead of adding "(no decay)" in block displayName, create new field with description? Like this:
{
"metadata": 4,
"displayName": "Oak Leaves",
"description": "No decay"
},

Research direction

Start with data/pc/1.12/blocks.json around lines 413-416 and inspect how the block variations are represented. Compare the existing displayName values with the proposed description field, then check nearby block data for consistency. Done means the variation information is represented as a separate field without relying on displayName text.
