Cocoa beans are a food ingredient obtained from cocoa that can be used to craft cookies and brown dye.

Obtaining[edit]

Breaking[edit]

Cocoa pods can be mined with any tool, but axes are the quickest. In Bedrock Edition, fully grown cocoa pods drop 2–3 cocoa beans; the chances and fortune behavior of this are unknown.

Fishing[edit]

Trading[edit]

Usage[edit]

Farming[edit]

Main article: Tutorials/Cocoa bean farming

Cocoa beans come from cocoa pods, which are found on the trunks of normal-sized naturally-generated jungle trees in jungle biomes. Placing a cocoa bean on the side of a jungle log plants a new cocoa pod. (The log does not need to be attached to a tree).

Cocoa has three stages of growth. During its first, 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 bigger, and orange-brown. When destroyed in the first two stages, the pod yields only one cocoa bean. When destroyed in the third stage, it gives two or three cocoa beans. Bone meal can be used to force the cocoa pod forward by one growth stage. Cocoa pods "pop" and drop their beans when struck by flowing water,‌[Java Edition only] pushed by a piston, or if their log is removed by any means.

Crafting ingredient[edit]

In Bedrock Edition, cocoa beans are accepted as a direct substitute of brown dye in many recipes.

Video[edit]

Note: This video is outdated, and contains a mis-statement. The video states that beans can be found in "bonus chests"; they were actually found in dungeon chests. Cocoa beans were also removed from dungeon chests in version Java Edition 1.6.1.

History[edit]

Java Edition Beta
1.2Cocoa Beans JE1.png Added cocoa beans.
Cocoa beans are currently obtainable only through an inventory editor.
1.4Cocoa beans have been formally brought into the game as a reward found in dungeon chests.[2] (53% chance) Also, brown sheep now naturally spawn, making obtaining brown wool easier.
Java Edition
May 8, 2012Jeb revealed cocoa pods with a screenshot.
1.3.112w18aFor only this snapshot, cocoa beans have been given a small (0.5%) chance of dropping from destroyed jungle tree leaves in a similar fashion to apples from oak leaves, which makes cocoa beans renewable for the first time.
12w19aCocoa Age 0 JE1 BE1.png Cocoa Age 1 JE1 BE1.png Cocoa Age 2 JE1 BE1.png Added cocoa pods, replacing jungle leaves as the main method of finding cocoa beans.
Cocoa Age 3 JE1.png Cocoa pods with values 12–15 are now inaccessible normally, and have a texture similar to a dragon egg. This is due to the dragon egg texture being to the left of the ripe cocoa pod texture in terrain.png, as cocoa pod textures are arranged with the oldest on the left and the youngest on the right, resulting in the unusually ripe cocoa pod reading the dragon egg texture.

Issues[edit]

Issues relating to "Cocoa Beans" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.

Trivia[edit]

  • Cocoa pods have a different hitbox for each size, however the top is always 0.25 blocks below the top of the wood 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 suffocation prevention depending on available space.
  • The pixels on top of the fully grown pod are 8/7 the size of those on the side.

Gallery[edit]

  • The first screenshot of cocoa pods tweeted by Jeb, which revealed the plants.

  • Screenshot tweeted by Jeb, showing the pod.

  • Naturally generated cocoa pods.

  • A cocoa pod farm.

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

  • A cocoa farm automatically farmed by pistons pushing the blocks they are growing on.

  • Three growing phases of the cocoa pod.

  • A log and pod layout for optimizing an example area of 14×14 (including walls).
