Minecraft:Cocoa Beans

Cocoa beans are Minecraft:items obtained from cocoa pods, and are used to plant more of them as well as to craft Minecraft:brown dye and Minecraft:cookies.

Cocoa pods are Minecraft:plant blocks that can only be placed on Minecraft:jungle log sides and grow cocoa beans. They can be found naturally in Minecraft:jungles.

Obtaining

Template:IN, cocoa beans are only obtained through the natural generation of cocoa pods, while Template:In, they can also be found in bonus chests and from Minecraft:fishing inside the jungle, bamboo jungle and sparse jungle biomes.

The block itself can be obtained by inventory editing or Minecraft:add-ons Template:In.

Natural generation

Cocoa beans come from cocoa pods, which are found on naturally-generated jungle logs in Minecraft:jungle and Minecraft:sparse jungle Minecraft:biomes. Cocoa pods do not generate on jungle trees grown from Minecraft:saplings.

Breaking

Cocoa pods can be mined with any item, but Minecraft:axes are the quickest. Fully grown cocoa pods drop 3 cocoa beans. Using a tool enchanted with Fortune does not increase the amount of cocoa beans dropped.

Generated loot

1-2 cocoa beans can be found in 40% of bonus Minecraft:chests Template:In. Template:LootChestItem

Fishing

Cocoa beans can be obtained from Minecraft:fishing in a jungle Template:In.

Usage

Farming

File:Cocoaplant farm.png

A somewhat efficient cocoa pod farm, minimizing space and wood use.

Template:Main Placing cocoa beans on the side of a jungle Minecraft:log plants a new cocoa pod. The log does not need to be attached to a tree. A cocoa pod can be placed on jungle logs, jungle wood, stripped jungle logs and stripped jungle wood.

Cocoa has three stages of growth. During its first stage, the pod is small and green. In the second stage, the plant is bigger and colored tan. In its last stage, the pod is even larger and orange. The cocoa block has a 20% chance to grow a stage when receiving a random tick, giving it an average time of 5 minutes and 41 seconds per stage. When destroyed in the first two stages, the pod yields only one cocoa bean. When destroyed in the third stage, it gives 3 cocoa beans. Minecraft:Bone meal can be used to force the cocoa pod forward by one growth stage. Cocoa pods burst and drop their beans when struck by flowing water, pushed by a piston or if their Minecraft:log or wood are removed by any means.

Composting

Placing cocoa beans into a Minecraft:composter has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

History

Trivia

• In real life, a Template:W are the seeds of the Template:W, which grows pods that contain 20 to 60 beans each.
• Cocoa pods have a different hitbox for each size; however, the top is always 0.25 blocks below the top of the Minecraft:log it is on.
• If a cocoa pod grows while the player is standing next to it, the player is forced into the appropriate form of Minecraft:suffocation prevention depending on available space.
• Template:IN, the pixels on top of the fully grown pod are 8/7 the size of those on the side.<ref>Template:Bug</ref><ref>Template:Bug</ref>
