The bug
JSON parsing exceptions, being thrown while the pack.mcmeta file of data or resource packs is read, are not properly caught.
This can cause crashes or incorrect error messages when using /reload.

Yes it appears this is the case. I did not bother doing a search with parts of the stack trace since the JSON data could be incorrect at any position and there are probably at least 2 different situations in which a crash can happen and one in which a an error is written to the log.
How did you find that report?
violine1101
I, for one, always know which are the most recently reported issues because I follow the activity on new reports closely. So, if I see a new report which describes the same issue, I realize I've seen it before and search through my browser history to find it. Which usually takes a few seconds.

Since this seems to have subsumed MC-122998, I just want to point out that it is still in the game as of snapshot 18w01a - from the other thread, the crash report

Its fix is to remove all Resouce packs while loading time and then re-add then when you are playing the game. Worked for meh.

Thanks violine. 😃 I appreciate that you are working on this.

I meet too. And in 02a, neither zh_cn.json nor en_us.json in the pack might work.

If you don't fix this, I'll never play the new versions of Minecraft!
I'm just stuck in the prison of 1.12.2, well. Actually, 17w49b.

Don't worry. MC 1.13 will never come out until this bug is fixed. And we do not recommend to play in Snapshots, only for testers who want to test.

@@unknown if you are really experiencing this exact issue you can remove all data or resource packs and start adding one by one again until you find the one causing this problem which you can then leave out.
If you did not create the data or resource pack yourself you should contact the creator and tell them that their pack is malformed.

If I understand correctly, is this just a better/more general version of MC-122998?
