Summary:
Torches (torch, soul torch, redstone torch) are “centered” in slots in the inventory, crafting table, chest, etc. Previously, the texture in slots started near the bottom edge (like with the lever and tripwire hook). Since the change only affects torches (does not affect levers and tripwire hooks for example), is not mentioned in the changelog v1.21.0.21 and breaks parity, I consider it a bug.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open your creative inventory.
2. Look at the torches.

Observed results:
Torches are centered in slots.

Expected results:
Torches are located on the bottom side of the slot.
