Minecraft Exception in "Client Thread"

[TheBlueRuby]

Expected behaviour:

Minecraft will boot up and load into the main menu

Actual behaviour

Minecraft will get stuck on "not responding" on the mojang logo screen

Extra Details

I have narrowed the issue down to this as the non-obfuscated jar runs fine

I tried reinstalling java for something else and it works now. It must be a bug with my java installation. I was using the OpenJDK JRE 8 if it helps anyone.
