MCPE-33236

Shulkers take fire damage.

How to Reproduce
Step 1: Find a shulker, they are found in end cities and ships.
Step 2: Shoot it with a bow with flame on it while it is closed.
Step 3: Notice that it takes fire damage and slowly dies.

No video proof at the moment unfortunately.

It should work as intended as shulkers can catch on fire as it isn't a block, it is an entity or mob as we call it.

Likely WAI.

Possibly a regression of MCPE-22088.

Is this a bug or WAI? Shulkers are entities and not blocks and should catch fire.

I've had the same issue with shulkers.  The fire damage wouldn't be so bad except while they're on fire it seems likes there's a cooldown before another arrow will damage them.  So after one shot you have to wait another 5 seconds or so to kill them instead of just firing two arrows to begin with.

This IS NOT a bug. Shulkers are entities and, therefore, should catch fire. If your shulker box catches on fire, that is a different story.

shulkers not taking fire damage is working as intended on java (MC-83988) and as such this bug report on bedrock is valid

Can confirm for version 1.16.221 on Windows 10. There was a time where this bug was fixed, but was later reverted.
Update: This bug still affects version 1.18.2
