Sulfur cubes with magma blocks can detonate TNT minecarts

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Place or summon a TNT minecart

2. Place a Sulfur Cube nearby and give it a magma block.

3. Make the Sulfur Cube touch the TNT minecart.

Actual Result:

The TNT minecart explodes shortly after contcact with he Sulfur Cube.

Expected Result:

If this is an intended hidden feature, it's very interesting and suitable for survival/PvP. However, if it's a bug according to code logic, the expected behavior would be that a magma-filled Sulfur Cube only deals contact damage and does not trigger the TNT minecart explosion.

PS: I personally find this interaction quite fun and wouldn't mind at all if it's kept as a feature.

Environment

OS: Windows 10 Launcher: PCL2 (Plain Craft Launcher 2) Game version: 26.2

Most likely works as intended, as this is a feature with magma sulfur cubes also igniting TNT sulfur cubes as a feature!

Yeah it makes sense to me that dealing any sort of fire damage to a TNT minecart would ignite it. We will see whether or not Mojang feels differently.
