WrappedBlockState by string for grass_path (dirt_path) on <1.17

[osk115]

Describe the bug
WrappedBlockState#getByString(string) for minecraft:grass_path on versions <1.17 returns AIR

Software brand
Versions below 1.17

How To Reproduce
Example (Spigot 1.16.5, packetevents-spigot-2.7.0):

System.out.println("grass_path: " + WrappedBlockState.getByString("minecraft:grass_path").toString());
System.out.println("dirt_path: " + WrappedBlockState.getByString("minecraft:dirt_path").toString());

output:

[05:56:26 INFO]: grass_path: air
[05:56:26 INFO]: dirt_path: dirt_path

Additional context
Mentioned in GrimAnticheat/Grim#1733
In version 1.17, the identifier of the path block was changed from grass_path to dirt_path. There is a STRING_UPDATER in WrappedBlockState, but unfortunately it breaks getting the WrappedBlockState block on versions below 1.17
