Incomplete without crash report. Please attach crash reports in the future to tickets about a crash.

What does

java.lang.NullPointerException

mean?

Fixed. Thanks for the report.

I was about to report the same issue. Although the crash is fixed now, on my end it was caused by 13w26a no longer recognising custom languages, regardless of their location in /assets/lang or a resource pack. This issue still exists in 1.6pre. This is kinda off-topic though.

Look at pack.mcmeta in the minecraft.jar and you will learn how to add new languages.

@Grum:
So adding new languages is fully supported now, but does changing parts of already existing languages work too? For example changing block or item names in "en_US".
