Fire Resistance nullifies most fire-based damage. Fire Resistance is a status effect that does not change its power as its potency changes.
What it looks like inside lava using Fire Resistance in Java Edition.
Contents
Effects[]
Grants immunity to damage from fire, blaze fireballs, fire charges, magma blocks, and lava, but not ghast fireballs and blaze touch attacks. Negates the fire damage from bows enchanted with Flame and swords enchanted with Fire Aspect, but does not affect the attacks themselves. The fog effect under lava is also mitigated somewhat. Players also see better under lava when they have the Fire Resistance effect. In Bedrock Edition, the view with the effect is stronger than in Java Edition.[1] Fire Resistance also prevents the fire itself from covering the player's screen. [BE only]
