I was minding my own business when all of a sudden I started getting attacked by zombies and skeletons coming up from my basement. After killing them, I went to investigate. In the last sub-basement that I started mining 6-8 hours earlier, all the torches I planted were gone and it was dark down there. So, I figure that’s where they were spawning.
In all my sub-basements I mined, I planted torches every fourth block. Since I had just started mining this particular sub-basement (#7 before stopping to do other things) it's not all that big. It is 8 x 16 blocks and 2 blocks high. So, there were only 8 to 10 torches down there. But, all of them vanished.
Torches did not vanish from any of my other sub-basements above this one.
Is that normal? What causes torches to vanish? How do I keep this from happening again?
Between the time I stopped mining in my sub-basement and monsters started spawning in there (because the torches vanished), I was mostly at ground level building a tower and killing spiders to get string to make white wool and make a bed that I slept in three times. Are any of these things connected with the torches disappearing?
When i’m in the sub-basement where the torches vanished, the F3 data is:
