Snow Golem never takes damage in hot biome when on potion effect

"Works As Intended", see Minecraft Wiki for more information about Snow Golem.

@unknown the minecraft wiki is not an official source

Still likely works as intended, as this has been known for a while and if was a bug, it would have been patched by now.

By that logic we could close every bug repot as WAI after a few weeks?

Can confirm for 1.10

I think as well that this is Works as Intended.
As from the Code's perspective (MCP 928_1 names) they used intentionally "DamageSource.onFire" in the responsible fragment of the code:

net.minecraft.entity.monster.EntitySnowman.onLivingUpdate()

//...
if (this.worldObj.getBiomeGenForCoords(new BlockPos(i, 0, k)).getFloatTemperature(new BlockPos(i, j, k)) > 1.0F)
{
    this.attackEntityFrom(DamageSource.onFire, 1.0F);
}
//...

Since it is counted as fire damage, a fire resistance potion will allow the snowman to not take damage. Don't see a bug here.
