Having the exact same issue when trying to load into multiplayer but no issues with single player

[WickedSchnitzel]

same
edit: setting the particle effect slider to 0 worked for me. this will let me connect to the server.
edit2: does not seem to work for everybody
also funny that after i did the remapping the game told me to do after updating from 1.19.3 to 1.19.4, it let me connect with particles on afterwards. but others are still crashing

Sorry guys, this is an issue in code in 1.19.4 which emerged only after we launched the release. It will be fixed in 1.19.5 in a few days.

It affects only people connecting to a modded multiplayer server who do not have a full set of the mods required for the server. Therefore, a workaround is to make sure you have all the required mods (in the /Mods subfolder specific to that server), prior to joining. Server owners could for the next few days make available a ZIP file containing all the required mods, in an appropriately named folder, and give that to players to just unzip manually?

The issue is intermittent, may depend on hardware/configuration and other semi-random factors, therefore if it affects you, you can maybe try 2 or 3 times to "connect". I say "connect" ... it will take you only as far as the screen listing the required mods and initiating the download of those mods. Once again, for a player who already has all the required mods, there should be no issue.

Fixed in 1.19.5-rc.1. If a server or player does not want to update, it can also be fixed by manually downloading the same mods that the server has - if the player's mods exactly match the server's mods already (before connecting) then there should be no issue.
