      Put the summary of the bug you're having here

      What I expected to happen was...:
      Nothing... The game wouldn't crash, players would be able to join my server as a Lan World.

      What actually happened was...:
      When anyone joined, chat GUI says that they immediately quit, with an error message that the length of some 'string' exceeds 16 characters by 4. (I have /summoned an invulnerable enderdragon riding an endercrystal with a 20 letter custom name)

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. /summon anything with a custom name 17 characters or above, excluding color codes (for some obscure reason)
      2. Open to lan and let players join to view error message.
