Players can prevent fire damage by reloading world/re-joining server

When you're on fire, you can reload your singleplayer world or re-join the server to prevent taking any damage from fire for a couple of seconds. By constantly reloading the world/re-joining the server, you can end up getting no fire damage from a fire source, because the fire damage timer that determines how long you're on fire still plays while being invulnerable.

This is probably due to invulnerability frames after re-entering a world/server, but as this mechanic can easily be exploited, I believe this is unintended behaviour; as a comparison, the "no fall damage" exploit still exists in singleplayer by reloading your world, and the report is not marked as WAI.

Yes, this is caused by the little bit of invulnerability you get when you join a game.

John Frank, yeah, but you can also escape fall damage by abusing the invulnerability and it's a reported bug on the tracker, so I believe this quirk is an unintended side effect of the invulnerability.
