Conduit datapack

Just a question if anyone can answer it, I wanted to try to modify the requirements for a conduit to be active (specifically to activate with deepslate bricks or tiles and out of the water) I saw on the mc wiki that there is a way to modify the states and I think you could write a datapack for it but I have no idea as to where you'd start or how to even access it. If anyone has any suggestions or a way to locate the blocks file that would be fantastic. Also forgot to mention it at the start but this is for a event on my server where we would seek out these "shards" that are retextured conduits and then we'd destroy them once located.

If there isn't any wat to modify it and I'm just delusional I will take this post down.
