The result is a hanging loading screen followed by a crash.
This happens when launching in the following method
Steam > Minecraft Launcher > Minecraft (most recent release version)
The reason for launching through steam is to enable controller support, this is because I have poor hand-eye co-ordination, and I planned to do a moderate sized project on a laptop, so the best method for control for me is using a controller.
