Impact
When handling form responses from the client (ModalFormResponsePacket), the Minecraft Windows client may send weird JSON that json_decode() can't understand. A workaround for this is implemented in InGamePacketHandler::stupid_json_decode().
An InvalidArgumentException is thrown by this function when it fails to fix an error found in the JSON, which is not caught by the caller. This leads to a server crash.

Workarounds
A plugin may handle DataPacketReceiveEvent, capture ModalFormResponsePacket and run the provided JSON through stupid_json_decode.
Note that this requires copying the body of the function to a plugin, since the function is currently private.
