The bug
/giving yourself a potion with a proper "Potion" tag, but with caps, will crash your game.
For Example:
/give @p minecraft:potion{Potion:"swiftness"}
gives you a potion with swiftness, but
/give @p minecraft:potion{Potion:"Swiftness"}
will immediately crash your game.
This doesn't work for invalid potion id's, like "potato".
Along with that, spawning in a container with the potion in it will crash you the instant you check the contents of the container.
EDIT: Writing any potion ID, valid or invalid, with caps seems to crash your game

Your links seem to be redirecting me to a page telling me how to locate the .minecraft folder, but there isn't an area to paste the crash report :/
I'll just attach my crash report file to the post
