Forgive me if I duped this, I tried finding it, I find it hard to believe I am the only one to notice this though, unless something changed purposely and I am not aware. Tried searching the wiki and stuff.
I forgot to mention that I am in complete survival mode, I created the world with absolutely no cheats and it has been quite fun lol. So i did nothing with the doFireTick command! From my comment below, "But I do have to add that while i was mining i came across another situation and after some time the wood the lava was next to burst into flames but the wood the lava was on top off remained unaltered like it was stone or something that wasn't flammable."
Fire isn't spreading to wood blocks that are touching lava. It's really weird because I am so used to seeing them on fire lol
As for reproducing.. um, all I did was walk in a mineshaft I found and saw it so. I just found it i mean.

My apologies!! I forgot to mention that I am in complete survival mode! Cheats are indeed off. But I do have to add that while i was mining i came across another situation and after some time the wood the lava was next to burst into flames but the wood the lava was on top off remained unaltered like it was stone or something that wasn't flammable. It was cool to watch though XD I will add that I am in survival mode, thanks for reminding me!
wait @redstonehelper what does invalid mean? I haven't played minecraft in a while but I know for sure that wood touching lava should be on fire, did they change it or something? I'm confused..
Resolved as invalid since you said lava did catch wood on fire in another situation. You likely didn't wait long enough. Possibly lava only places fire on the same height and higher, too.
Ah! No hun you miss understand 🙂 the wood that the lava is touching still didn't catch fire it was same as the picture up there. This particular situation I was starting work on a an xp cave spider grinder thing. I was using the lava as light source since I had it with me and I ran out of torches. I was clearing space and all of a sudden some of the mineshaft wood bridge next to me caught fire. (The picture above seems to indicate that this occurred there as well.) I waited for the wood underneath of the lava to catch but it never did 😞
Maybe, it has something to do with the game testing to see if there is an airblock above the wood, the lava seems to prevent it from catching fire.. But i figured it would catch fire to the side, but I guess they changed it? On the wiki it says that torches (taking up an air block) could prevent fire from being summoned above a wood block that should have caught fire.. right?
"Fire spread
When a stationary lava block receives a block tick, the game will do one of the following at random (each has a 1/3 chance):
Choose one of the nine blocks above the lava block, and if it's an air block with a flammable block adjacent place fire there.
As above. Then if the chosen block is not solid and didn't catch fire this tick, choose one of the nine blocks above that and set fire there if it's air and has a flammable block adjacent.
Three times, choose a random block from the 8 surrounding the lava block at the same Y level plus the lava block itself. If the chosen block is flammable and has air above, place fire above.
Since catching fire depends on air blocks, even torches or lava itself can prevent a flammable block from catching fire."
According to that description there is no way for the wood in your screenshot to catch fire - it's too low.
Make sure doFireTick is true
