java.lang.Nullepointerexception

Here is the output from the development console.

Client> [14:37:33] [Client thread/INFO]: Created: 512x256 textures/blocks-atlas
Client> [14:37:33] [Client thread/INFO]: Created: 256x256 textures/items-atlas

By the way, I would rename this bug as something more descriptive. I have seen a failure messages of NullPointerException as well as something like "Failed to connect to the server / Internal Exception: io.netty.handler.timeout.ReadTimeoutException"

Thank for the nice comment.

same error, unable to connect to any SMP server. Java is current version
