Lava is being more likely to set wood above it on fire even when they are separated.
A wooden walkway in a cave was set on fire by a pool of lava below it, but separated by 8 blocks of air. A mansion was set on fire, apparently by a pool of lava below it and separated by at least 5 blocks of stone,
Was the behavior of lava supposed to have been changed in the update?
This is happening in the Minecraft 1.18 Snapshot that is available from the Minecraft Launcher screen. Placing torches on all sides of a cave spider spawner does not stop cave spiders from spawning. This has happened consistently on every spawner I have found.
