Mod notice
This seems to be caused by broken resource packs which have NULL characters in pack.meta.
Workaround: Navigate to [.minecraft/resource-packs/|http://hopper.minecraft.net/help/guides/finding-minecraft-data-folder/] and move all the files in there into some other folder.
Before the official release of 1.13 I tried downloading the snapshots and they all gave me the same crash reports. I left it and just decided to wait for 1.13. Now that it's out I just get the same crashing report.
Crash report:
The game crashed whilst initializing game

I got that I needed to add the full crash report from this (MCL-9004) issue and I really hope someone can help me to fix this. If you want to know anything I'll check this often, thanks!

I did what you said and it still doesn't work. I did also update my Java to see if that fixes it but this is still a problem for me.

All I can see is that your graphics driver is outdated:
OpenGL: GeForce GT 630/PCIe/SSE2 GL version 4.6.0 NVIDIA 388.13Current version is 398.36. Please update to this. I doubt that this resolve this issue, but that's my last resort.

It seems like one of your resource packs has NULLs in its pack.mcmeta, try renaming resourcepacks (the folder in .minecraft)

Oh my gosh updating my graphics card never worked, but when I tried doing what Ktos said It finally fixed it! Not sure if I have to delete all my packs I use in 1.8 but this did definitely help! Thanks 🙂

Is this still an issue in the latest release/snapshot?
Please
Uninstall Minecraft
Download the installer from https://minecraft.net
Re-install Minecraft
Please respond if that did work.
