Minecraft wiki entry for Torch, associated text: Torches can be found randomly generated among the supports in a mineshaft's corridors, as part of village lamp posts, in various rooms in strongholds, in the basements of igloos, in woodland mansions, and around pillager outposts. Torches also generate around bonus chests if each side has a block at the same height around it. In The End, torches generate as part of the exit portal, around the second pillar block from the top. Whenever the Ender Dragon dies or respawns, these torches regenerate. They also generate in ancient cities.
