Torches in Villages, Mineshafts, Stronghold, & End exit portal spawned dropped

Confirmed for 14w18b.

Doesn't this relate to this (or maybe is caused by this)
MC-59928

See comment on MC-59928. 14w34d.

As indicated in MC-59928 and MC-59211, this is likely caused by the world generator using the wrong metadata / blockstate for the correct orientation of the torch. Previously, the torch would change to "facing: up" and float, but now it drops. This was reported in the launcher log:

[Server thread/ERROR]: Tried to setBlockAndData(minecraft:torch/0) but it's an invalid state. Defaulting to minecraft:torch[facing=up] instead (minecraft:torch/5)

Although this message no longer appears as of launcher 1.5.2 or MC 1.8-pre3, that may still be the cause of the problem.

For what it's worth, this also happens in strongholds.

I generated a new world in the final 1.8 release and all the torches in the stronghold that should have attached to blocks were sitting on the floor as items (not attached), so the issue still exists in the 1.8 release.
For what it's worth, having no torches in the stronghold made it a bit more interesting 🙂

-6589301973742410408 village to the right has it's torches dropped in 1.8.1-pre3
No error messages.

Exit Portals in The End are definitely lacking torches... not sure if they are dropping through the exit, or never there in the first place, but they are certainly missing. Still true in 1.8.1-pre4.

Confirmed they are there, but falling through the Exit Portal immediately, so they end up on the ground in the overworld.

Confirmed for:

• 1.8.3

How to reproduce:

/summon EnderDragon ~ ~ ~ {HealF:-1}

Use this in the overworld and go trough the portal and you will find 4 torches (same for end to overworld)

-6589301973742410408 village to the right has its torches dropped in 1.8.7
No error messages.

Appears to be fixed in 15w31a. Used only 1 test of -6589301973742410408 village to the right.

Fix in Villages and End portal confirmed.

Confirmed for 15w51b
