Torch blockshape inconsistency

I had to recreate this issue because it was marked as a duplicate of multiple issues by a moderator

This is NOT a duplicate of MCPE-15806 or MCPE-72446, both of which are caused by a texture offset. This issue is about different models used for blocks that have torch blockshape. White torch outline is INTENTIONAL and is a part of resource pack. It was made to show that minecraft:torch doesn't have an outline even though it has to

Redstone/soul torch and regular torch have different models, even though using same blockshape (torch blockshape)

Expected behavior: minecraft:torch has an outline, just like redstone and soul torch and all the other blocks

Actual behavior: minecraft:torch doesn't have an outline even though every block with torch blockshape do have the outline

Steps to reproduce
1. Apply torch blockstate to torch and redstone torch blocks (e.g. by installing torch_blockshape_bug_rp.mcpack)
2. Compare torch and redstone torch models

The redstone torch has the transparent outline in its model because its head is larger than its base. The regular torch does not have the larger head, so it does not need a larger model. Moreover, it works better without the larger model, as it does not have the issue with offset textures and it does not become oulined in black when viewed from far away. So, I do not understand why you think there is a bug here. The torch model is not incorrect just because it is different. Do you have an actual reason for thinking the torch model is incorrect?

I do think it is incorrect because both redstone and regular torch use torch blockshape. That means they have to share same model like any other block using torch blockshape (like all other torches and blocks that were assigned the torch blockshape by a resource pack, e.g. planks)

Can confirm, affects preview 1.21.0.25.

Edit: After further inspection of the resource pack's blocks.json file, I can see why the reporter believes that this is actually a bug, as there does seem to be some inconsistency that should be addressed.

The main issue is that even whilst using the same blockshape, the normal torch behaves completely differently from any other block in the game that utilizes the "torch" blockshape. When other blocks are given the torch blockshape they will mimic the blockshape of the redstone torches rather than the normal one, leading to inconsistency. It also results in blocks using the torch blockshape to have the alignment issues associated with redstone/soul fire torches.

I've attached a screenshot of the blocks.json file that hopefully provides additional context as to why it may be a good idea to consider this as a bug.
