The same reason it doesn't burn constructed wooden walls/bridges. They aren't considered wood, or something.

Also, I am absurdly bothered by the fact that your wall isn't one uniform color.  :-X

I was really annoyed when this happened because I started that fire for the sole purpose of clear cutting. also I used a fucking dragon.

apparently trees have FIRE IMMUNE SUPER on them because even candy would melt at that temperature.

i think that wall is made of at least three separate types of rocks. I might replace the walls with lead or gold later.

I count 5 rock types. grey, white, yellow, blue and red. I'm guessing at least microcline and orthoclase. Is there a hint of green in the bridge? Olivine?

on the other hand, the red could be blood, the green vomit, and isn't troll blood blue or something?

since all other water is not frozen, I ruled out ice, unless temperatures were turned off after making the ice wall. water from rain freezing up doesn't color the wall

Ice constructed walls don't melts, constructed walls are pretty much immune to temperature.

Yeah, only constructed walls and floors are immune to melting. Rest of everything melts when it warms up :D
