Version	26.2

Reverts the Redstone Torch texture and model back to that of before 1.21.2.

Bedrock feasibility

Verdict	partial (high confidence)
Checked	2026-07-25 by agent

The texture half is a plain path overwrite, but Bedrock does not expose vanilla block geometry, so the pre-1.21.2 redstone torch model cannot be restored.

How it would work on Bedrock. Textures: drop textures/blocks/redstone_torch_on.png and textures/blocks/redstone_torch_off.png into the pack — RP/blocks.json maps redstone_torch -> redstone_torch_on and unlit_redstone_torch -> redstone_torch_off, and textures are overwritten by path. Model: not reachable. The redstone_torch entry in RP/blocks.json exposes only sound and textures (no geometry field), there is no vanilla block model JSON anywhere in bedrock-samples/resource_pack/models/ (that folder holds entity geometry only), and the Bedrock Wiki states outright that vanilla block models are not data-driven and cannot be modified.

Caveats. Bedrock already carries the post-1.21.2 art: the shipped redstone_torch_on.png has a four-pixel-wide glowing head (x=6..9, rows 5..8) that is wider than the two-pixel stick, which means the wider head element of the new model is present in Bedrock too. Reverting the texture alone leaves that geometry in place. Authoring the old texture with the extra head texels transparent may visually approximate the pre-1.21.2 torch, but that is untested and the model itself still cannot be changed. Redstone repeater and comparator torch nubs picked up the same 1.21.2 model change and are equally out of reach.
