Minecraft, catching fire when coming through nether portal
I built a portal in the overworld, activated it, did not enter it. Then used another portal to go to the nether, located the place where I would have to build the counterpart to link them, built it, activated it, went through and all is nice and linked. But when I re-entered the portal to go back to the nether, I caught on fire...
Okay I was lazy and made the location somewhat in the middle of a lava lake when I linked them, I thought that might be the issue. Cleared away the lava, left at least 4-blocks of Cobblestone in every direction around the portal, still made no difference - when coming back I catch fire...
I tried:
- destroying it and making a new one
- making a new one a bit higher
- making a new one alot more higher (+15 blocks in mid-air over the lava lake)
- making a new near the lake not over it
- destroying the one in nether all together and entered the one in overworld, it generated a new one almost exactly where I played around with them in the first place but still the same result
Im playing in those Mojang "Realms" in 1.9.2 and running out of ideas, so close to just use fire resistance potions all the time...
EDIT
Also tried after re-building it a few times today:
- Covering everything with stone and then cleaning it out again to fight the invisible fire bug, just in case
- Reloading did not help and the same problem happens to the other player in my realm when coming through
Some pretty pictures 😏

And the one on the Nether side, this one is 6 blocks above lava

I had Same problem in 1.9.2 after reading your post I test: To remove lava which was 1 block under in and in front off the portal. I removed all lava 2 block away and 3 levels deep. Then it worked. Conclusion if there is lava close to portal in overworld, you catch fire when enter nether side. Thanks for the tips that the problem was in overworld.

What happens when you go through Nether Portal?
A Nether Portal is an obsidian structure enabling players to pass between the Nether and the Overworld. They produce distinctive whimpering and crying noises and release purple particles that resemble dust particles. Players move the equivalent of 8 blocks on the Overworld by moving 1 block horizontally on the Nether.How do you protect a fire in the nether?

Answer 2
You have likely came across an instance of Minecraft bug MC-98153.
The issue is that due to the new teleport acknowledgement system, after moving through the portal, the server sets the player back to the last position acknowledged until the client acknowledges the new position later causing a rubber band / teleport.
Workaround:
Remove all fire/lava at the exact location of the entry portal in the other dimension. E.g., if you have a portal at (100, 64, 100) in the overworld and you are set on fire when going to the nether, go to (100, 64, 100) in the nether (not to the location of the exit portal) and remove fire and lava around that location.
I have just encountered the same issue in 16w44a and I’m not looking forward to that Nether hike
