Duplicate of MC-48058
When creating a superflat world out of blocks which do not have direct item counterparts, but do have dedicated items to place them (such as fluids and crops), since they do not have an actual block icon the item is displayed instead. However, the name of the item is also displayed as well, which can lead to nonsensical results; for example, a superflat world with minecraft:water in it is a world with a layer of water, not a world with a layer of water buckets.
Fire appears to be an exception to this rule; it is displayed as air instead of flint and steel.
As all blocks should have translation strings and associated names, a fix would be to only display the item in the inventory slot to the left, and the actual name of the block to the right. This would also fix the names for MC-48058.
To reproduce, use the following preset:
minecraft:carrots,minecraft:potatoes,minecraft:beetroots,minecraft:wheat,minecraft:melon_stem,minecraft:pumpkin_stem,minecraft:tripwire,minecraft:water,minecraft:lava,minecraft:sweet_berry_bush,minecraft:cocoa,minecraft:fire;minecraft:swamp;village
This will probably crash the world shortly after load due to invalid block positions, however the world can be subsequently recreated to test the bug without entering the world.

The bug
Unlike many other similar blocks, fire is not assigned a dedicated item form. This results in several issues arising which are not present for other blocks:
- Nothing is returned when using Pick Block on fire (
MC-167842) - Fire is displayed as "Air" in the Superflat menu (MC-48058)
- Endermen which hold fire do not drop anything beyond their usual drops when killed (
MC-206449) - The amount of fires put out (i.e. fire blocks "broken") is not displayed at all in Statistics. There exists a statistic intended to track this (according to the comments of
MC-36191), but this never increments. - Blocks which have multiple block states can have a BlockStateTag assigned to their item form which will result in the item placing the block with a specified block state combination. However, despite fire having many block states to choose from, the lack of an assigned item form means that this tag can never be used to get a desired state combination for fire from an item that places it.
How to reproduce
Since this ticket concerns many issues that arise due to a central problem, there exist different ways to reproduce each sub-issue. A brief demonstration of some of these cases follow:
- Attempt to use Pick Block on fire, and note that nothing is returned
- Paste the following Superflat preset into the custom preset text box, and note the "Air" entry despite no air being specified in the preset:
minecraft:netherrack,minecraft:fire;minecraft:the_void
- Execute the following command to summon an enderman holding fire and kill it, noting that it can only drop experience and ender pearls, and nothing else:
/summon minecraft:enderman ~ ~ ~ {carriedBlockState:{Name:"minecraft:fire"},Health:1} - Put out a large amount of fires in a Survival world, then open Statistics and search for any fire-related entries; ultimately there will be no relevant cases
- Give yourself a fire charge (item most fitting for fire's item form) with the following command and place it, and use F3 to check the age state to note whether or not it's actually 7:
/give @p minecraft:fire_charge{BlockStateTag:{age:"7"}}
Expected results
Fire would have an associated item form.
Actual results
Fire does not have an item form. As a result, all of the above issues arise.
How to fix
The best candidate for fire's item form would be the fire charge, as it places fire on a right-click and is consumed upon use, unlike a flint and steel which has durability.
This matches up with other items that were assigned to the role of the item form of a block in 17w47a, such as seeds being tied to their respective crops, cases where distinct "floor" and "wall" variants neccessitated different item forms (e.g. heads, signs, banners), and other blocks which had a "different" item form beforehand (e.g. repeaters, comparators, cauldrons, cake, flower pots, redstone dust) being merged.
Plenty of other items were also given item forms that seem like a stretch when comapred to the fire charge being the item for fire; for example, buckets being made to be the item form of their respective fluids, despite not being entirely consumed upon use (and also likely being partially responsible for MC-205563).

Yes, sorry for that. Also does not work with end_gateway. However, the preset in the description isn't "working", it shows the "Classic Preset".

Perhaps a good fix for the lack of icon would be "if there's no item form, show the block marker texture". The text should just insert the block translation keys directly, rather than look for an item.
