The bug
Burning arrows can light candles and cakes with candles outside the world border. This is inconsistent with the behavior of campfire blocks (campfire or soul campfire), which can't be lit outside the world border.

This has the same root cause as MC-223824: unlike the campfire block, the AbstractCandleBlock class does not check if the projectile may interact with the hit block. The fix provided by @unknown in that ticket also fixes this issue.
