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

migrated

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.

Relates to MC-18984, MC-44140 & MC-13640.

Also, description should include a list of the wood items that won't burn.

1. Shouldn't all the related posts get put in here? Why put most of them in one report, but not all? (banner, sapling)
2. Some of these might be intended, e.g. sign, chest, bed, rail, lever, piston.

migrated

As MC-9691 was fixed in 16w33a, shouldn't the list be updated and MC-9691 be marked as related? Not all items in the list (as far as I can tell) were "fixed", so Mojang can make the determination as to whether this items should be burnable.

That's about burning in a furnace, this is about blocks being burned by fire blocks.

ah sorry I misread it or more precisely look at it quickly and did not catch the difference.

Detector rails do not contain any wood, at least based on their crafting recipe.

confirmed 18w48b

was figuring out how to summon fire when i came across this bug with doors

Note that signs are commonly used in lava grinders of mob farms to contain the lava. If the signs would burn away, the grinders would break. Using other blocks like open fence gates is not an option either, because they are made of wood too. So either signs being immune to fire should be WAI or there needs to be a proper replacement made of fire-proof material (e.g. iron signs, nether brick fence gates, ...).

FaRo1

In some cases you could use sugarcane, (waterlogged or not) (dead or alive) coral (/fans), cobwebs, scaffolding, seagrass or a block that gets extended and retracted by a piston. But I agree, adding nether brick fence gates would be a good idea when this bug gets fixed.

Crimson and Warped are not supposed to burn, as they are non-burnable materials.

migrated

I think that it makes sense for block entities, especially chests and barrels, to not burn. That would be overly cruel.

Nether Sprouts and Crimson Roots have been marked as "Wont Fix"

Why nether plants should be flammable?

Can confirm in 1.17.1, but Nether plants and fungi should not be flammable.

Also, Chiseled Bookshelf catches fire from lava but does not burn away.

@@unknown, chiseled bookshelf is WAI.

TheMightyDark

The grindstone and the smoker consist of mostly stone, so these blocks really shouldn’t burn away. If a smoker should burn away though, it should became a normal furnace.

TheMightyDark

If rails should burn away, they could become tieless.

Fireswamped

I may be incorrect, I think they are burning just the visual for burning is not happening.

Dhranios

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.

Confirmed in 1.21.4

Minecraft386882

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.
