Can confirm in 1.18.2 and 22w15a. MC-185618.png
Can confirm in 22w16b. Here's a code analysis of this issue.
Code Analysis:
The following is based on a decompiled version of Minecraft 1.18.2 using MCP-Reborn.
If we look at the above class, we can see that the only valid item that can be used on creepers is flint and steel. The mobInteract() method never checks if fire charges are used on creepers, which results in them doing nothing when used on these entities.
Can confirm in 1.19 and 1.19.1 Pre-release 1.
Hey! This is presumably a Mojang intended feature. Supported by evidence from Mojang themselves, the official wiki, and previous versions, fire charges are unable to detonate creepers. Fire Charge – Minecraft Wiki (fandom.com)
"When used, it instantly lights a fire, similar to flint and steel. The fire charge is consumed in the process. It can prime TNT and light nether portals and campfires like flint and steel. However, it cannot be used to detonate creepers."
Hope this helps!
Mon_key The wiki isn't a valid source of information. Only sources provided by Mojang are accepted. Also this report has been triaged and set a priority so it isn't WAI
I apologize I had no idea! I don't know why I thought it was official! Sorry
I managed to code a fix for this issue myself that's fully functioning and works as expected, so I've attached two screenshots to this report, one of which shows the current code and the other that shows the fixed code. I feel this information may be quite insightful hence my reasoning for providing it.
