I'm imagining a language developed entirely within the universe of Minecraft. Like treating minecraft and its game mechanics as a world yknow. So there'd be no gendered pronouns, right? Because there is no biological sex within species, any two of the same mob can breed, all chickens lay eggs, there is no identifiable males or females in any way. I like to think that there would still be grammatical "gender" in the language, it'd just be based on a different wide grouping of characteristics that conveys important information. For example:

Grammatical genders of passive, neutral, and hostile. Like how they sort the mobs in-game. Cows, fish, villagers, all referred to with the passive pronoun. Zombies and stuff with hostile. Mobs like endermen and golems, you refer to with neutral by default, or if you're encountering a being you're not sure about the aggression levels of. Obviously, pigmen would have an entirely different language, being isolated in the nether, which would just make it more difficult to land on a pronoun for them, given their aggression levels vary so much. Like, what, you only refer to them with neutral pronouns if you're wearing gold? The cultural clashing there would be a lot.

And then, like languages in the real world that apply grammatical gender to EVERY noun, this categorization could be applied to objects as well. Fire is hostile. Trees are passive. You stub your toe on a block of cobble so you yell at the inanimate object with hostile pronouns, it attacked you! Refer to your friends with passive pronouns as a show of affection. Refer to yourself with hostile pronouns to convey you're gonna beat someone up. Options are limitless.

Wanted to put my two cents here because I actually really like this idea!

I LOVE how you solved the gender thing op, but I do wanna say that before I read through the whole thing I felt kinda sour because pronouns and nouns not being gendered at all IS actually an existing option! Although not many languages do it, sure, but it's still an existing and used concept (see hungarian, for example!).

On the more technical (a.k.a. written language) side, it could work in a really interesting way too! Given what basic logistics we know of, to fit an alphabet in, it wouls most likely have 16 letters (based on some of the item stacks, and because I feel like 64 letters would be a bit too much, but then again that could be possible too), the letters obviously would only contain straight lines or only VERY pixelated curled ones, and all of their lines would most likely fit into a 3 by 3 or 4 by 4 line system (based on the crafting grid's lines in the player's inventory and when using the crafting table). AND if we take into consideration that villagers would most likely be able to write, and they only have a 2 by 4 line system based on the same logic (and based on the fact that since they can craft bread they most likely have a 1 by 3 crafting grid), then maybe we could even work with only that! Isn't that neat?
