I had the same problem.....It works when you load any other world too!

Strange, it works now, go figure? Didn't do anything different.

By the way, I did search for this error using "java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException" and didn't get any matches. Well, only stuff about hoppers and really old reports.

Of all things to fucking fix in 14w02c they didn't fix this. This is a HUGE problem

Changing view distance to 20, from 10

Change the render distance to the maximum possible 16.

Don't mess with options.txt

I've never changed options.txt, but whatever, nice to know what the problem was caused by.
