The Bug:
Relates to MC-150455.
Whether or not you are affected by fire is always calculated as if the fire were a full block. This means that fire on the side or bottom of a block can damage the player further away than its hitbox.
Steps to Reproduce:
Place any flammable block, for example an oak log.
Set fire to the side of the block using a flint and steel.
Put yourself into survival mode and walk into the block.
Walk slowly away from it.
❌ It will still set you on fire and damage you in even though it does not look like you are touching it.
This is a very strange error if we assume that Java has a side fire hitbox. Not completed)
