Any replication methods or screenshots?

Try placing a torch on the underside of a block. And, yes, it happens with default textures too.

Connor Griggs 2014-02-06T21:32:35Z

Did you place the torch before or after switching texture pack?

SullyTheUnusual 2014-02-06T21:35:12Z

Refer to my previous comment...

I cannot reproduce the same results as your screenshot.

Tested on all 4 PCs in my household with default textures.

Connor Griggs 2014-02-06T22:01:34Z

Well that is odd! Just tested it on another computer and attempted to replicate your screenshot but I haven't acquired the same results. Have you tried re-downloading your 14w06b.jar file? Maybe that may solve the problem?

SullyTheUnusual 2014-02-06T22:05:35Z

Re-downloaded on my PC with no change. Just updated to Java 1.7_u51, also with no change.

Connor Griggs 2014-02-06T22:11:46Z

Oh right, I'm using JAVA 1.7 Update 45. I still cannot replicate these results. I know it may sound silly but have you tried removing the resource pack from your resource pack folder that you were using in your screenshot?

SullyTheUnusual 2014-02-06T22:16:40Z

Well, I can reproduce it on 4 different PCs (without texture packs), so I don't see this helping.

Connor Griggs 2014-02-06T22:18:41Z

Apologies, not really sure what is going on then. But, I still cannot reproduce those results.

Talven81 2014-02-06T22:45:58Z

Also cannot reproduce.

Please attach the complete output of the "Development console" which can be found on the second tab of the launcher.
If the launcher closes after game start, please edit your profile and select "Launcher visibility" then, "Keep the launcher open".

Found the problem, sort of

When placing a torch down on a surface that is non-applicable, for example; a cactus, the torch will be placed onto an adjacent block as expected but, a missing texture box (shown in the screenshots) flashes before the torch's model is shown

Cannot produce a screenshot as the process happens too quickly and I don't have video recording capabilities.

The missing texture box doesn't show if a torch is placed directly onto a applicable surface, for example; a stone block.
The missing texture box doesn't stay like it is shown in the screenshots

If you place the torch on grass from an aerial view, the torch will replace the grass with the torch model and no missing texture box is shown. But if you place the torch on grass at an angle or looking right at it from 1st person the missing texture box flashes.

Also affects Redstone torches

I got this when placed regular torches on grass or anywhere. That first instant of placement, just as Connor describes it: "if you place the torch on grass at an angle or looking right at it from 1st person the missing texture box flashes."

Ladislav Bielko 2014-02-09T17:11:49Z

Well, the missing texture is not actually appearing only when the torch is placed on the bottom of a block, see more on my bug report: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-48095

I also have no resourcepack installed and my environment is:
Windows 8 (not 8.1), Java 7 Update 51
(if you wanted to know what version of Java I got or what RP i was using / if I did change my RP before the bug)

Ladislav Bielko 2014-02-09T17:22:47Z

Connor Griggs you can capture the box when making several screenshots very quickly, see my report for the screenshots: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-48095

@unknown is right.

Actually, every time you try to place a torch or a redstone torch in a valid location, where there is a valid block face where the torch can be attached (top or side of a solid blocs), but while pointing at an invalid face instead (the bottom of a block or a transparent block), the torch will first try to attach itself to the invalid face, before being moved to a valid face. During the short time when the torch hasn't be moved, it appears as a small box with missing texture.

I attached two screenshots, the first one shows the torch being placed on the white stained glass, the second one shows the torch being moved to the sandstone block. Note the cursor pointing at the glass.

Ladislav Bielko 2014-02-09T17:48:59Z

Added 2 more screenshots, too, to show that the bug appears on any kind of non-transparent block.

Hartspoon 2014-02-12T19:12:36Z

This is probably related: Creating a superflat world with a layer of torch will produce a infinity of little boxes missing their texture, with torches reappearing randomly every chunk update.

Also note that many of the villages' wooden doors had their texture missing, notably when placed east to a bugged torch, but also without any proximity to any torch. Quite weird.
