There are 2 major issues with this update causing this problem.
One is the project red removing java 6 support, which is fixed by following the directions in the OP here.
But the other one is a Dimensional ID conflict beween Galacticraft Space stations and Witchery's new dimension just added.
If there are 8 or more space stations on your server, then DIM9 is being taken by one. Wichery's new dimension is trying to function in DIM9 as well, causing client side crashes.
Server owners CANNOT simply change the ID in the config, because the client config is mismatched and still crashing. The only way to fix this is for server and client to both change the ID of the dream world in the witchery config to match.
