conlang resource packs for minecraft

home language is not conlang really , but do sometimes use conlanger resources and strategies to help put things together up here at front .
so here : to translate minecraft to conlang or other personal language , will need at least basic grasp on everything , which probably should not surprise . but for specific categories ?

blocks and items :
  • take adjectives from verbs - waxed copper , infested stone bricks .
  • adjective order - waxed weathered copper , infested chiseled stone bricks
  • material separate from origin - would jungle sign vs jungle leaves confuse speakers , when one is from jungle wood plank and other is part of jungle tree ? in animistic culture , could stone stairs read as stone's stairs , with need to distinguish made of stone separately ?
  • X of Y items - potion of fire resistance , arrow of harming . is this of better suit as for , or even something else ?
banners in specific :
  • vexillology terms . many , many - white saltire , yellow base dexter canton , purple per bend sinister inverted .
    do culture particularly care for vexillology , or describe by more basic shapes ? base indented , for example , could be grass , teeth , or spikes .
mobs :
  • name creatures that might be uncommon , but real , to culture - would these be loan words from other cultures ?
  • name creatures that might not really exist in this culture's world - what features would stand out to culture ?
  • name villager job types , take agents from nouns - fisherman , weaponsmith , cleric
subtitles :
  • basic grammar - frog dies , donkey chest equips , mooshroom gets milked suspiciously
  • describe sounds - is there word for bleat and growl , or can sound describe as beh-eh-eh and rrrrg ? which sounds get which treatment and why ?
death messages :
  • progressively complex sentence structures , usually with passive form - 1 was slain , 1 was pummeled by 2 , 1 was doomed to fall by 2 using 3
  • order of priority - which parts fall first and last ?
menus :
  • technical language that might not exist in culture - loan words from close modern languages , if any ? coinage that follow logical path ?
  • range from simple words and phrases , to full grammatical sentences .
advancements :
  • full grammatical sentences .
  • advancement names can be puns or references that would not make sense - eye spy , country lode take me home , whatever floats your goat .

can choose , for these reasons , to only focus on parts that see in main game play - leave menus as is , ignore subtitles if never use , skip advancement titles .
… or , can take as challenge to translate everything possible even if rarely play minecraft now .
