Taller Torches: Hitbox & Particle Fix

Resource packs can restore the 13 px torch design from the Indev era, but with the taller texture, flames and smoke spawn at the old height and the hitbox ends halfway down the stick. The mod moves the particle origin and stretches the collision and outline boxes so each one sits where the torch is drawn. Torch height is read from the torch texture in pixels, and the other offsets, including the wall side shift, are computed from it automatically.

The mod changes four blocks: standing torches, wall torches, redstone torches and wall redstone torches. Soul torches are covered through the standing and wall torch classes. A single JSON file controls the behavior, with a height value and an include-redstone switch. Setting redstone to false keeps the vanilla shape for redstone torches, and values outside the supported range are clamped, from 10 px at the lower end to 16 px at the upper end. The mod is built against Yarn mappings and runs as four small mixins, with a 23 kB JAR.
