[MC-226895] Placing a candle in the same block as already lit candles, lights the candle

I was in creative mode and I got a candle. When I lit the candle it glowed like usual but when I placed more candles they came were also lit without me lighting them. On the same block.

Are you placing the candles in the same block as the already lit candle?

Yes on the same block

Can confirm. This probably works as intended, however, I do not make that decision. This very closely relates to MC-218528. Here are some steps to reproduce this issue for clarification reasons:

Steps to Reproduce:

Place down a singular lit candle.

/setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:purple_candle[lit=true,candles=1]

Obtain a purple candle and place it on the same block as the already lit candle.
→ ❌ Notice how the candle that you just placed is ignited.

Looks WAI to me. Multiple candles in the same blockspace cannot individually be either lit or unlit independently from each other. The full block of candles is either lit or not.
