MC-216561Torches not spawning in abandoned mineshafts under y=0
The torches that occasionally spawn in mineshafts on the beams above the player's head are not spawning when that mineshaft is under y=0. I don't know if this is an intentional feature, but it does sort of feel like a disconnect between them and normal mineshafts. Thanks!

Note: This has been unreported for a long time and it's probably the real reason for MC-216561 as unless there happens to be a random block behind the torch it won't generate making torches rarer. Also could possibly be the reason for MC-216432
Bug Description: This is probably a recurrence of MC-124966, all torches in mineshafts are now facing the wrong way. This apart from being a bug in of itself probably makes torches rarer as those won't generate unless they happen to have a random supporting block generate. I also do not know the first version this started to occur in.
Expected Behaviour:
All torches in mineshafts generate attached to the wooden support pillars
Observed Behaviour:
All torches generate rotated 180* in the other direction
How to reproduce:
Locate any mineshaft structure (it doesn't matter whether it's above or below y0) and find any torches you will find that all of them are rotated

Can confirm
I found a torch in an abandoned mineshaft under y=0 in 21w08b.
I also did manage to find some torches in abandoned mineshafts below y=0 as well. I think this issue here is that they spawn much less often.
Still affected in 21w14a, though any mineshaft (regular or badlands variant, regardless of y-level) appears to have this reduced torch count (maybe 1 torch per mineshaft). Perhaps the thought was that the lichen that now grows underground replaced them, and torches weren't needed on the badlands surface anyway.
Regardless, seems to be related to
MC-216432, where the phantom lights on the client side seem to be where the torches used to spawn, and the sever no longer generates them in the mineshaft.can confirm in 21w37a
still in 21w39a
still in 21w40a it appears the torches spawn connected to the opposite block of the wood
Wondering if this should just be "works as intended" or "won't fix", considering the issue is just that torches are rarer. Makes sense, gameplay-wise, too.
This is actually caused by
MC-239344This is invalid, torches can spawn under 0y and torch generation isn't affected by the y level at all
