Manually create the directory [.minecraft|http://hopper.minecraft.net/help/finding-minecraft-data-folder]/server-resource-packs/
When a server attempts to send my client a Resource Pack, the game crashes. The issue (at least I believe it is) is that the client can't create the "server-resource-packs" folder in my Minecraft directory, causing it to not be able to download and crashing the game. That's just what my belief is. I have a screenshot of what the kick reason is when the game crashes. I'm sorry if this is a duplicated bug, I couldn't find any other issues reporting this same bug, but they may be out there. I hope this was helpful!

I can reproduce this with Sun/Oracle java 6-8 on Windows, have not attempted other platforms. Somebody forgot to do mkdirs();
Navigate with Windows Explorer to [.minecraft|http://hopper.minecraft.net/help/finding-minecraft-data-folder] and create there the folder server-resource-packs.
Alternative: Use current Launcher.
Most likely, this was due to the fixes of some security exploits involving resource packs.
