Notch recently wrote about how his intentions for Minecraft were always for everything included to be genderless and not force the player to choose in a game he views as having no set genders;
"All the other mobs in the game are genderless and usually exhibit the most prominent traits of both genders"
Notch has also revealed that his intention for the 'Steve' character was always meant to be genderless;
"The human model is intended to represent a Human Being. Not a male Human Being or a female Human Being, but simply a Human Being"
He also regrets naming the character;
"I do regret using masculine terms to talk about the default character. These days I try to use the up-and-coming use of “they” as a genderless pronoun"
