This is intended.

I hope this isn't WAI because being able to use a sword to frantically put out fire without destroying your builds in creative was very useful.


Fire is a block, and swords are meant to not break blocks in creative. Please resolve.

The ticket was already checked by mojang, they didn't think it was WAI
