This is as crazy as a bat out of hell. |

I can confirm this; I was in a ravine and the bats kept dying in the lava... |

so this is a similar problem to that of baby mobs having the same hitboxes as there adult counterparts, then perhaps it is easy enough to be fixed by 1.5.1 |

The Bat collision box is much bigger than you would thing. Spawn one and press F3+B to see the hitboxes. If lava touches this hitbox, then the bat ignites. |

However, other entities do not catch fire merely from proximity, but must come in contact with lava in order to ignite. Blocks and entities are inconsistent in the respect. |

I don't see how this is a bug since wood that is near lava also catches fire so it is meant to happen |

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases. |

Saw this as well during my caving expedition in which "Death by Bat" happened... These guys need a use, they are currently just annoying and have a somewhat terrible AI. |

I can confirm this, in a ravine with falling lava pillars, after one minute all the bats did catch fire and died. On the other hand this is easy way to get rid of them. |

This needs a fix, or not... Bats caught on fire by lava pools is pretty hilarious. |
