[MC-132260] Game crashes on launch: Invalid axis in gamepad mapping

The game crashes on startup when I have a controller in my USB port.

Crash report:

Description: Initializing game
java.lang.IllegalStateException: GLFW error: [0x10004]Invalid axis in gamepad mapping 030000001008000001e5000000000000 (NEXT Classic USB Game Controller)

I tried it with different USB controllers: an SNES controller made the game crash too (same crash report), while it worked fine with an NES controller plugged in.

This has never happened before and only occurs when launching 1.13-pre4 and 1.13-pre5. (I tested all 1.13 pre-releases and 1.12 versions)

I can't put 1.13-pre4 in the affected versions list

My bad, this is a duplicate of MC-132113

Related, but not a duplicate.
You got

java.lang.IllegalStateException: GLFW error: [0x10004]Invalid axis in gamepad mapping 030000001008000001e5000000000000 (NEXT Classic USB Game Controller)

MC-132113 is

java.lang.IllegalStateException: GLFW error before initialization: 0x10004

Ok, 1.13-pre5 improved the error message, it's in fact game pad related.
