When the player dies from a campfire, it acts just like the magma block and does not make sense. How on earth is standing in a campfire even remotely related to making a breakthrough discovery about the floor being lava? That is rather odd, I must say, as campfires are not magma. In general, certain programming practices, such as copying and pasting code, are best avoided.

This doesn't seem to be a bug at all, because it's not like an error in the code occurred and the game is using the wrong message or anything like that, they clearly just utilized the magma block code when making campfires, so for all intents and purposes, the current behavior is intentional but temporary.
It's "Campfire Damage" in Wiki, and it doesn't seem to be a bug.😞
Damage[edit]
Campfires damage living entities standing on top of them even if underwater (with exceptions such as shulkers or guardians), whether lit or unlit, dealing 1 (

Unusually though, being related to fires, campfires do not deal real fire damage like normal fires, nor destroy items. Though; damage taken is considered fire damage and is reduced by armor, shields, the Resistance potion effects, and the Protection and Fire Protection enchantments. Armor will take damage, but a shield will not. The player can avoid being damaged at all, either by sneaking, using a potion of fire resistance, or by wearing Frost Walker boots, similar to magma blocks. Blocks that are the height of a trapdoor or lower (such as carpets) will not prevent a campfire from damaging mobs and players above it.

Either a duplicate of MC-141899 because it provides more info (as was the case with MC-140949 and MC-140950), or vice versa because they both focus on the same issue.
