Detailed description of a problem

This line in node-minecraft-protocol can throw an unhandled error when the returned string is not a json or invalid. https://github.com/PrismarineJS/node-minecraft-protocol/blob/ffe912b2fe92f53e595615ad346a0237a9b1edf3/src/client/versionChecking.js#L4

Expected behavior

Better error handling. Maybe emit the raw string instead when the json parsing failed.

Research direction

Start with src/client/versionChecking.js at the linked line, where the returned disconnect string is parsed. Reproduce the case with a non-JSON or invalid response and inspect the existing client error behavior. Done means invalid returned strings no longer cause an unhandled exception and the reported error matches the expected behavior.
