The blocks that lava can catch fire to, these blocks have a flammable Material (and the other blocks have an non-flammable material).

The blocks don't burn away because they aren't listed among the burnable blocks in the BlockFire class, so fire itself isn't sustained by them, and also doesn't affect them.

Can confirm this. Maybe this is because a door is a 2 block structure, however, that shouldn't matter

Blocks that do not burn: Signs, Ladders, Chests, Trapdoors, Fence Gates, Crafting Tables, Wood Buttons, Wood Pressure Plates, Note Blocks, Jukeboxes, Beds, Piston Arms, Torches, Levers and Wood Doors.

Would like to point out this is NOT a duplicate of MC-12189.

Should be reopened. Mojang is about to resolve MC-63275.

Relates to MC-63275.

Can confirm in 1.21.4 release candidate 3

RE: Les3awe, then it should not catch fire from lava, as that's just confusing. Either a block should not catch fire and not burn, or catch fire and burn.

I suggest listing chiseled bookshelves still.

I would think that items which are or are crafted predominantly from wood, wool, coal, charcoal, hay bale or plant-related blocks would burn, but not the smoker, rail, lever, grindstone, daylight detector or nether wood, as those are mainly crafted from non-flammable materials.
