The bug
When wearing netherite armour, if the player jumps into lava, the armour does not lose durability points. I did not have unbreaking on the armour. When I summoned a zombie, it attacking me immediately damaged the armour.
How to reproduce
Put on a full set of netherite armour
Place lava and jump into it
The armour does not lose durability points

I think this is intended. I'm not a developer so I'm not completely certain, but still is a cool feature that they don't take durability loss in fire damage. It makes sense too.
I suspect this is intended, seeing as those items do not get destroyed when dropped into lava directly.
