this crash appears to affect you when connect to a server. untested for single player. you can find a schematic of the build used attached. it was generated using world-edit. the server was running spigot for 1.8.8 according to the host, the server jar file was generated for 2015/8/20 and the server remained fine when i experience the crash.

What I expected to happen was...:
I expected to login correctly without crashing.

What actually happened was...:
I crashed on login (it definitely works on a client side modded game a.k.a the replay mod, macro keybind mod, gammabright, forge and liteloader.)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a cactus farm that involves glass panes as recently pointed out by a YouTube Redstoner. (my materials was water, packed ice, white stained glass, sand, cactus, unwritten signs)
2. relaunch in affected version
3. attempt to join the server.
