Can you give me the content of your ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/assets folder?

Open a terminal and type:

find ~/Library/Application\ Support/minecraft/assets > ~/Documents/assetlist.txt

Then attach the "assetlist.txt" from your Documents folder to this ticket.

Nah shouldn't be needed, gimme a sec, trying if i can replicate it.

Awesome, I can replicate the issue; as work around:

In a terminal:

find ~/Library/Application\ Support/minecraft/assets/ -name .DS_Store -exec rm {} \;

This removes all .DS_Store files and fixes the problem for me. (you have two extra from browsing the folder with Finder.)

I'll go work on making an actual fix in the game so it won't happen again for the next snapshot.

ok, if you have any problems replicating it, I'm open to help with whatever

agh perfect, that fixed it

try this though, the command you gave me resulted in an inadequate permissions error:

find ~/Library/Application\ Support/minecraft/assets/ -name .DS_Store -exec /bin/rm -f – {} \;`
