Soul fire sets entities on normal fire

Please remove 1.15.2 from the affect versions list.

I would expect mobs to burn orange regardless of whether they are positioned in soul fire or normal fire. Soul Soil is what burns blue. Netherrack and other substances burn orange. Soul Soil is used to create soul fire torches. I agree with jonathan schaudt.

A ghast could fire an orange-burning ball, setting soul soil ablaze blue. Anything the blue fire catches should burn orange unless it is crafted from soul soil or is a "soul mob".

This issue is in Bedrock Beta 1.16.0.51 as well

Isnt this a WAI? I mean the player isn't covered in Soul Soil or Sand so they would ignite normally.

@Bryan Workiewicz then soul fire should deal regular amount of damage.

Bryan and Chris why y’all defending this bug? 

I mean, we can argue that the soul fire burns hotter than regular fire and therefore could burn the player dealing more hearts of damage than a regular fire would. This would in turn also allow the fire to have an excuse for burning blue.

Maybe souls are a fuel source for the fire and stepping in the fire gets your soaked/covered in that fuel source?

Either way, realism or not, potentially a lot of people including myself would like to see the player burn in blue as we step in a blue flame.

This makes it have a nicer color to the player burning animation as well as matching up the color to the fire we stepped in.

I'm just confused why people brings up science to the logic of soul fire being a physical flame or a mystical flame that does magical damage.

I do not understand why people perceive a bug. I do not understand how it appears that there is something wrong with the game. Either way, I couldn't really say that there is something wrong with the game. The dumb game can have its own rules for fire, realistic or not.

Happens in 1.16 pre 2

Hey Chris, just wanted to let you know you’re wrong. The Fire burning us is blue, it makes sense that the fire that is on us from said blue fire should be blue, not orange. This is pretty common sense stuff guys, why are you making this complicated? 

I just set fire to soul sand with flint and steel and it burns blue. I set an oak tree on fire with flint and steel and it burns orange. What started the fire was irrelevant. The fuel decides what colour the fire is. Pretty easy to understand.

@robbage no real point in discussing it anymore, mojang has acknowledged the bug and has it marked as low priority. they're getting to it at some point, whether it meshes with irl chemistry or not. i understand the science of it, but honestly it looks dumb walking into a soul flame and burning orange. plus, from a gameplay perspective, there's no visual difference between normal burning and soul burning, which do different amounts of damage

this problem is also in pre release 6

Affects 1.16 Prerelease 7

The player is being damaged from two sources:

1. The fact that they are standing in soul fire

2. The fact that they are on fire.

@Devu: The player takes more damage because they are standing in soul fire instead of regular fire. However, the player is not made of soul soil/sand, so burns normally (orange).

with level 0 being regular fire and level 1 soul fire

Yeah, I don't think Mojang will do it that way since 1.13.

Bug is also active in first person.(normal fire animation seen when in blue fire). I would say the solution is just duplicating the fire animation but then with the blue colors.

And higher damage

Can confirm in 20w51a.

Can confirm in 21w05b.

What would happen when stepping into normal fire when you are burning with soul fire? And vice versa? And if you are simultaneously standing in normal and soul fire?

Still occurs in 21w07a

Can confirm in 21w14a.

can confirm for 21w19a

Can confirm for 1.17

Can confirm in 1.17.1.

Can confirm in 21w44a.

Affects 1.18.1

I agree with robbage. The color of fire comes from the material that burns, if it is soul sand,the material decides that fire should be blue, and if it is player then human flesh makes the fire color to be orange. But in a game that physics is so weird, If entities take the fire properties, then I think fire should have a color property and if said entity is in contact with the fire, it will take that fire color property and burn with that color.

This makes things like being in both soul fire and regular fire possible, like how we dye leather color by combinations of different colors and make new color, being in two different color (blue and orange) will make the player burn in a color like "Eminence" for example.

This makes introducing more and custom fire colors possible

Affects 1.18.2

This behaviour is present in 1.19

Can confirm in 1.19.2.
