What doesn't explode

ItemID
Nether Starnether_star

The Nether Star is not damaged by explosions - wither, creeper, dynamite, fireworks. But in lava and fire it burns like any other object.

What happens to things in lava?

A fallen object has five units of strength, and the fire eats them in a couple of moments: a common thing in lava disappears before you can pull it out. Each tick object in lava rises slightly up, so a non-flammable non-crowd takes it to the surface — it can be caught.

Items in a player's inventory do not burn from lava: if a player dies in lava, everything that fell from him, except netherite, will burn.

Mobs and the player
