New 1.13 release crashing on startup

Probably happening because of symbolic linking the saves file to my Dropbox folder, but it worked flawlessly in previous versions. The source code probably needs to check if saves is a symbolic link as well, other than just a directory, before trying to create it. Hard linking directories in MacOS compromise fsck, so it has to be avoided.

Error message:

The game crashed whilst initializing game
Error: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.nio.file.FileAlreadyExistsException: /Users/***/Library/Application Support/minecraft/saves
