	For mobs, as soon as the mob is exposed to fire, its <code>Fire</code> tag ~~will jump~~ from 0 ticks (not on fire) to 160 ticks.

	Fire ~~spreads over flammable surfaces and can climb up walls, across floors and ceilings, and over small gaps, if~~ a [[Minecraft:player]] is within 8 [[Minecraft:chunk]]s of the fire. ~~More precisely~~, ~~a fire block can turn any~~ [[Minecraft:~~air~~]] ~~block that is adjacent to a flammable block into~~ a fire ~~block~~. ~~This can happen at a distance of~~ up ~~to one block downward~~, ~~one block sideways~~ (~~including diagonals~~), and ~~four blocks upward of the original fire block~~ (~~not the block~~ the ~~fire~~ is ~~on/next to~~). ~~Therefore,~~ if the ~~player is using fire to build a fireplace, caution~~ is ~~needed. Blocks in the way do not prevent fire from igniting blocks above it—so even~~ if the ~~player protects a wooden roof with cobblestone between it and the fire, the fire ignores that cobblestone~~.		Fire spread requires a [[Minecraft:player]] within 8 [[Minecraft:chunk]]s. It can spread over flammable blocks (not waterlogged) within a 3×3 horizontal area, reaching up to 4 blocks above and 1 block below the fire. Fire can pass through blocks to ignite surfaces above.

			Each target position's ignition degree is <math>\left [ \frac{i+7d+40}{a+30}\right ]</math>, where i = max adjacent flammability, d = [[Minecraft:difficulty]] (0–3), and a = fire <code>age</code>. Base ignition is 100 (3×3×3 range), 200 (2 up), 300 (3 up), and 400 (4 up). In fast-burning biomes ([[Minecraft:jungle]], [[Minecraft:swamp]], etc.), the degree is halved (rounded down). Spread is blocked if the degree is 0 or if rain hits the spot or its four horizontal neighbors.

	Fire ~~spreads from a still~~ [[Minecraft:~~lava~~]] block similarly: any air block one above and up to one block sideways (including diagonals) or two above and two blocks sideways (including diagonals) that is adjacent to a flammable block may be turned into a fire block.		Per scheduled tick, spread probability is <math>\frac{a}{b}</math> (degree ÷ base). Fire slows as it ages and travels farther. In Bedrock, spread is halved in humid [[Minecraft:biomes]].

	~~Fire~~ that naturally spreads into a valid [[Minecraft:Nether portal]] ~~frame activates~~ the portal.		[[Minecraft:Lava]] can also start fires: for any [[Minecraft:air]] block that is 1 block above and within 1 block sideways (including diagonals) of the lava, or 2 blocks above and within 2 blocks sideways, if that air block is adjacent to a flammable block, it may ignite. Also, if fire naturally spreads into a valid [[Minecraft:Nether portal]], the portal will activate.

The interval between one fire update and the next ranges from {{convert\|30\|gt\|s}} to {{convert\|40\|gt\|s}}.
