MC-2887Fire doesn't spread :(
I tried to set a large forest on fire in my Minecraft world, but when I lit the trees the fire would just linger and not do anything.

What difficulty are you playing on? Fire spreads differently on each difficulty setting
I was playing on hard mode because I thought that would make the fire worse. Then I turned it to peaceful just to see what would happen, and it was the same.
I've also been seeing "ghost fires" on random trees in the swamp biome near my island.
If someone could downgrade to 1.4.2 and see if it happens to them, then that would help.
can you type /doFireTick and tell me whether it returns true or false.
Works fine for me, did you by chance disabled fire spread through /gamerule doFireTick false?
Any mods installed?
As you can see, it's not spreading. (in picture)
I tried the /doFireTick command. That didn't work.
sorry, /gamerule doFireTick
I mean /gamerule doFireTick
Are you on a server?
It was originally off, so that was what I thought the problem was, until I tried to set a tree on fire again.
Nope. My own world.
Can you try without any mods? Otherwise I have to mark this issue as invalid.
Uggg. Ok. I spend a lot of time downloading mods, but ok.
Wait... I have Rei's minimap. I set a lot of waypoints. I don't know if I can risk loosing them.
Nevermind
It didn't work! I uploaded a screenshot.
Okay, let's try this again:
do this command exactly as typed below:
/gamerule doFireTick
and take a screenshot of the response.
I uploaded it
Can you please do "/gamerule doFireTick true" without the quote symbols.
You've set it to on instead of true, and the game doesn't recognize that.
It worked!
It's beautiful! Thank you!
Glad to be able to help.
Wait! When I force updated to show you my game without mods, and I tried to change my .minecraft back to the one I copied so I wouldn't loose anything, it said that it can't do that because the folder was in use. I didn't have my game running, either.
go to you task manager (ctrl+shift+escape) and kill any running instances of java(w).exe
Like, in the processes tab? Isn't that dangerous?
In processes, yes. It shouldn't give any problems.
Guess what? I went into my .minecraft and tried to delete all the folders/files, and guess what stayed? The screenshots folder. I deleted all the screenshots in the folder successfully, but the folder still remained. That makes me think that someone or something is scanning that folder.
Or maybe you should just reboot your computer now
