MC-209229 needs to be reopened
I've had past experiences with bug reports being invalid like this, and the reason of it being invalid was because it had no texture to compare to. This time it does. There's absolutely no excuse for this to not be opened. It's a very valid bug report, and even if I wanted to do what the commenter said and post it to the feedback site for fun, the feedback site completely refuses to accept any of my posts. Can someone please reopen it?

Well this does fall into the feature request category, since Jappa decided not to update those textures. It’s not like a bug in the game that prevented his new textures from showing and showing the old textures instead, even though Jappa made new ones.
Jappa just didn’t do it at all. So asking them to change it to match the current art style is a request to Jappa.
And again, there are tons of outdated textures. Clocks for example, they didn’t match the hue of the new gold ingot texture until 1.17, but that didn’t mean the previous texture1.14-1.16 was a bug.
If the feedback site declines it then I truly doubt it's in the "feature request category". Also I've asked on Discord and there's a plan to rework every single texture eventually so even if it takes years this is gonna end up getting fixed. And the clock texture not matching was a bug on the site and was resolved with a real fix only until 1.17
Only reason I want it re-opened is so it doesn't take multiple years, unlike the clock bug.
Well, whether or not it's opened or not isn't really going to affect how fast it's going to get fixed in this case. I could be wrong though, but if Mojang were the ones who decided to mark the ticket that way, or if the mods did and they follow Mojang's criteria, then I doubt anything is going to change their mind. So even if the site tells you it's opened it won't make a difference.
About the clock texture, yeah the example I made wasn't the best. I didn't know there was a bug report for it before. However I can tell you the difference between that bug and yours. The old clock texture is inconsistent with the new gold texture. The clock was too light compared to the gold. That inconsistency is OBJECTIVE. The clock's yellow IS lighter than the gold's yellow. No debate about this, it is fact.
However your ticket falls into feature request category because it is SUBJECTIVE. The old fire doesn't look as appealing compared to the new campfire, which is true, but it's still fire. There is nothing wrong about the fire texture, it just doesn't look as good. Asking to improve it to reflect Jappa's current style is what you are asking and falls into feature request.
There are tons of this in the game. One I can think of is the Crimson Forest compared to the upcoming Lush Caves. The particles in the Crimson Forest just float everywhere, whereas the particles in the Lush Caves float from the Spore Blossom. The new Lush Cave's implementation of particles is much more intuitive than the old Crimson Forest's implementation in my opinion, but that doesn't mean the Crimson Forest's Particles is a bug. The particles in Crimson Forest still work properly, it's just not as well implemented compared to the Lush Caves. Not saying Crimson Forest is a bad biome though. Hopefully this is a better example than the clock one I gave. Fingers crossed!
Also I do not know why they declined your post on the Feedback Site. I think they really shouldn't, but they did send you an email as to why right?
I'm 100% sure it being opened does affect how fast it goes. If there's a bug with multiple versions listed and constantly being updated it's gonna have someone who can fix that notice it no doubt. There's 1 bug I posted that would be asking to improve a texture to look better and it was resolved with a very valid "works as intended" from Jappa himself.
And about the fire, there's a problem with the fire texture. It uses an inconsistent color palette alongside being messy compared to the campfire. The clock bug is the exact same just without messy texturing, but there's even bugs such as this that are "asking" to improve a texture with both messy texturing and outdated palettes to reflect Jappa's style that ended up getting fixed. There's literally no existing legitimate reason for my bug to be closed.
Also I wish I'd get an email. I sadly never get an email for why it's removed. At this point I'm unable to post anything valid on both the feedback and bug site without an obsolete and completely unnecessary shutdown/removal.
Because you are suggesting a feature, not reporting a bug.
