The block itself is a technical block that cannot be obtained as an item, instead as cocoa beans,[Java Edition only] but they can be obtained by inventory editing or add-ons in Bedrock Edition.
Farming[edit]
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 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.
Natural generation[edit]
In Bedrock Edition, cocoa beans can be found in 40.0% of bonus chests in stacks of 1–2.
Trading[edit]
Wandering traders sell 3 cocoa beans for an emerald[Bedrock Edition only].
Fishing[edit]
Cocoa bean can be caught when fishing in jungle as junk item.
Usage[edit]
Crafting ingredient[edit]
In Bedrock Edition, cocoa beans can be also used in banner patterns:
| Name | Ingredients | Crafting recipe |

| Brown Banner pattern | Cocoa Beans + Banner |
|
| Brown Banner image | Cocoa Beans + Banner + Vines or Bricks or Creeper Head or Wither Skeleton Skull or Oxeye Daisy or Enchanted Golden Apple |

Dye[edit]
In Bedrock and Education editions, cocoa beans can be:
- Applied to sheep to dye their wool, which can then be sheared for 1–3 blocks of brown wool.
- Applied to tamed wolves to dye their collars.
- Used to dye or stain wool, leather armor, beds, glass, terracotta and shulker boxes.
- Combined with gunpowder to make a firework star.
- Combined with a firework star to create a fade-to-color effect.
- Used to add patterns to banners.
- Used to dye shulkers in Bedrock and Education editions.
- Used to dye water contained in cauldrons in Bedrock and Education editions.
- Combined with sand and gravel to craft concrete powder.
- Combined with compounds to craft balloons or glow sticks in Bedrock and Education editions.

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 will be 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]
In a snapshot version, cocoa bean pods were experimental and were visible in the tree's leaves when a jungle biome intersected with another biome.
