[18w08b] java.lang.NullPointerException: Tesselating block in world

This issue has been closed as invalid.

Your game, launcher or server is modified.
If you can reproduce the issue in a vanilla environment, please recreate the issue.

• Any non-standard client/server/launcher build needs to be taken up with the appropriate team, not Mojang.

• Any plugin issues need to be addressed to the creator of the plugin or resource pack.

• If you have problems on large servers, such as The Hive and Hypixel, please contact them first as they run modified server software.

Regression? I thought that issue was marked as fixed in the previous snapshot.

Sure enough that seems to be the cause. Playing offline once is required before playing online it seems.
