I also recall a Minecraft mod called ComputerCraft where you program a "Turtle" (a la Logo) to perform automated digging actions, but the task of programming it in the easily-embedded Lua proved somewhat inconvenient for simple actions, if only for the ALGOL-style syntax. Another mod tried Forth, but get the sense that while one could be productive in Forth, it's a lot to learn.
The developers have already incorporated it in a proof of concept game: https://bobthesimplebot.github.io/, but I could imagine RTS style games or mods where you not only have to scavenge for resources, you also program your bots to do your bidding, like Dwarf Fortress with programmable drones instead of independently-minded Dwarves.
