我的世界服务器显示pinging,[MC-108343] Minecraft crashes with "java.lang.NullPointerException: Ticking screen"...

Note

This issue is about the game crash (back to the launcher) when opening the server list. For the similar-sounding, but completely different, disconnect with a NullPointerException while in-game, see MC-115942.

What I expected to happen was...:

Minecraft to be staying idle on the background minimalized without any issuse

What actually happened was...:

It crashed with a Ticking screen error

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open minecraft 1.10.2

2. Minimilize it

3. maybe open a second minecraft and see if thas the issuse

Code analysis

Based on 1.11 decompiled using MCP 9.35 rc1

It looks like this crash can happen when the method net.minecraft.client.network.ServerPinger.ping(ServerData) was called while the user had an internet connection, but before a packet was received the internet connection was lost. Additionally the server needs to have a hostname which is not a literal IP address. In that case at some point the method net.minecraft.client.network.ServerPinger.ping(...).new INetHandlerStatusClient() {...}.onDisconnect(ITextComponent) is called. The problem lies in the method io.netty.bootstrap.Bootstrap.checkAddress(SocketAddress) which does check if the provided SocketAddress is an instance of InetSocketAddress (which include a null) check, but does not test if the method getAddress() returns null. This is the case if the host name cannot be resolved. As this netty version seems to be a custom build it should be fixable by Mojang.
