Fire animation in creative, when in lava

What is the bug ?

I won't call this a BUG, but it would be nice to have it "fixed". or removed..

I guess this report is quite about the same phenomenon as the [drowning in creative|MC-2145] was, in some sense.

Aha.
The player burning in creative while bathing in lava is the bug ?

The supposed 'bug' is just that it is inconvenient to have the "player-on-fire" animation when in lava in Creative mode (because you aren't taking damage). I agree, and this has been unfixed in recent versions, I think ❓ .

Whoops, misread the report. You are right, this is still an issue in 1.8.3. Sorry.

Wait, why is this intended? It's totally inconsistent. No other environment-related hud displays show in creative, like bubbles on the hotbar or fire in a regular fire block. it only plays in lava. It also doesn't play in spectator mode.

This really needs to be fixed. The fire animation does not display when in fire, only lava. It makes no sense and it's really annoying.

Confirmed in 1.9.3-pre2.

Sorry, was my mistake, server was having issues and I didn't notice, this is still WAI.
