Fire animation appears in lava block not on burning item next to it
Problem: When a wood item catches fire due to proximity to lava, the fire animation shows on the adjacent lava block instead of on the item catching fire.
Steps to Reproduce:
**(This mimics what I saw in my world; other arrangements might also exhibit the bug)
- Create or find a vertical wall 5 or so blocks high
- Punch a one block hole about 4 blocks up and put lava source block into hole, creating lavafall down the face of the wall
- Place a cobblestone block at ground level (where the lava is spreading out) right next to the lavafall
- Place wooden stairs on top of the cobblestone, so they are touching the lavafall
- Observe fire animation (eventually) on the lava pool formed at the base of the cobblestone, not on the stairs; the stairs are destroyed eventually and the fire animation disappears
I will post a picture of this later.
