The bug
If the gamerule doFireTick
is set to false
, existing fire blocks will continue to not tick even if that gamerule is set back to true
, and as such don't go out or spread to other blocks.
To reproduce
/gamerule doFireTick false
Place fire
/gamerule doFireTick true
Wait
→ ❌ The fire never goes out or spreads to other blocks

Wait this is considered a bug? This has been the behavior for as long as that gamerule has existed (back to 2013 or 2012).
