Making the flammable block catch fire takes a long time (gamerule randomTickSpeed)
Has a different procedure for a block increase.
Dig out 2 blocks horizontally, to the non-air block.
Fill in the other end of the hole with lava
Place the block, closing the tunnel.
If you don't want to wait, set gamerule randomTickSpeed to 1000.
❌ Has the same effect and speed of the original procedure.
