Dispensers can no longer light blocks above them on fire with items like fire charges.
Steps to Reproduce:
Place a dispenser facing upwards
Put a fire charge in it
Put a campfire block above it
Use a shovel on the campfire, to disable the fire
Activate it
Expected & Observed Results:
❌ - The fire charge is shot as expected, but it goes through the campfire block, never lighting it.
✔ - When the dispenser is activated, it would light the campfire.

Original Description:
In 1.12.2, fire charges were used for fireplaces because they would pass through the first block in front of a dispenser and light the block above. Now, they just have a little puff of smoke come through the block.

Can confirm for MC 1.13-pre5. First of all, I'm not sure if this is a bug, but it makes sense.

In the past they have always gone through the block whoch made for awesome fireplaces. As far as I know, they never said that they would be changing this mechanic.

Still present in MC 1.13-pre6.

As of 1.13.1 this bug exists when attempting to dispense bonemeal upwards beneath a seagrass-suitable block underwater. Bonemeal dispensed beneath grass, however, seems to function properly.
