Campfire does not apply fire damage to experience orbs or mobs, which means they don't drop their cooked variant or get killed

Bug

In the 1.19.60.23, campfires no longer apply fire to mobs and players standing on the campfire. However, due to this change, the campfire applies "normal" damage, instead of fire damage. This will result in experience orbs to not get killed (similar to how cactus cannot kill experience orbs: MCPE-101920) and mobs don't drop their cooked variants (if they have one)

Steps to reproduce with Experience Orbs

Steps to reproduce (experience orbs)

This is working as intended, see MC-141939.

This change seems very counter-intuitive (literal fire, not causing fire damage and instead normal damage). It also breaks farms that use campfire to clean up leftover xp. It does not seem to be a right approach for intended game mechanics.

i strongly disagree with the working as intended justification. campfires should set things on fire.
