Shulker attacks always cause Java to crash

Every time a shulker attacks my character, it causes Java to crash. I can spawn them in and walk around them in creative mode/ peaceful, but as soon as they are hostile and try to attack, Java crashes and the game freezes. I have tried turning off particles, turning down the graphics/ render distance but that doesn't help.

This has happened with every version of Minecraft that includes this mob, but Java still crashes.

I can't provide a crash report as the game didn't actually log a crash (due to the problem being with Java, not Minecraft?)- added the launcher log .txt

It seems to be related to the bullet attack as I can see the see the hostile shulker opening it's shell without a crash, but have not been able to actually see a shulker fire its bullet attack.
