Torches can be placed against the side of non-solid blocks

The bug

Both types of torches (torch and redstone_torch) can be placed on the side of blocks that do not have a side that touches the torch

Affected blocks:

  • banners

  • buttons

  • levers

  • pressure plates

  • rails

  • redstone dust

  • signs

  • tripwire

  • tripwire hook

Steps to repeat

  1. Place down one of the blocks listed above

  2. Either shift+right-click against the hitbox of the block while holding a torch, or attempt to place a torch on top of a non-viable block (such as a slab) diagonally under the block placed in step 1

Resolving as duplicate of MC-115805, highly likely the same cause and fix.
