The bug
24w34a fixed MC-275248. However, the bottom faces for torches are still not culled if placed on an opaque block, even through they should be since the face is completely occluded.
Both the vanilla textures and Programmer Art are affected, despite the fact that they use different models.
How to reproduce
- Place a torch or soul torch on top of a full, opaque block
- Enter Spectator mode
- View from below
Expected results
The bottom face of the torch would not be visible.
Actual results
It is.
How to fix
Add cullface arguments to the line corresponding to the bottom face.
I've attached a fixed version of the normal default torch model as well as a fixed version of the Programmer Art model, so this is pretty much a drag-and-drop fix.


Not a culling issue, as using /setblock displays the same problem:
