All versions from and including 1.14.4 throws an exception, except snapshot 19w34a and 19w35a

All versions up to 1.14.4 (including pre7, but not the release itself) works fine. The only snapshots that work is 19w34a and 19w35a.

1.14.4 used to work until week 36, but stopped working after that. The snapshots after week 35 have never worked.

The following versions are affected:

1.14.4

snapshot 19w36a

snapshot 19w37a

snapshot 19w38a

snapshot 19w38b

snapshot 19w39a

 I have tried:

• restarting computer

• restarting launcher

• searching for solution on google in in Jira (found many similar issues, but none with the exact same exception and affecting the exact same versions)

Is there anything else I could try?

Here's the output from the terminal:
