The bug
The "Create New World" button is always enabled when the new world GUI is initialized, even if the world name is empty.
How to reproduce
Delete world name and the "Create New World" button is disabled
Go to "More World Options"
Change World type to Superflat
Go to "Customize"
Click on "Done" and the "Create New World" button is enabled
Alternatively:
Delete world name and the "Create New World" button is disabled
Resize the window and the "Create New World" button is enabled

This also happens with the customized world type. Can confirm for MC 1.12.1.
MC saves the world with the name "World" if the name entered is null, so no crashes.
