Game crashes when attempting to join a server

When I login to minecraft, i try to click a server on the list and when that happens, my game crashes with the following issue attached at the bottom.

Reproduce:

1. Launch the game
2. Click Multiplayer
3. Join the server that is on the latest snapshot version
4. Game should crash

Current workaround that worked:

1. Launch the game
2. Click single player
3. Join a world and leave
4. Click Multiplayer
5. Join the server that is on the latest snapshot version
6. Game shouldnt crash now

It has also been mentioned when joining a test server on spigot: https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/spigot-community-server-1-13.304941

Hope this bug gets fixed in next snapshot.
