Cocoa Beans



Cocoa Beans are a material used in Dye-making, introduced in the Beta 1.2 update. Prior to the update, Jeb tweeted that he "[r]emoved one of the minecraft dyes". This was presumably the brown dye, though it wasn't actually removed, but simply made unobtainable; the item can still be obtained with mods or an inventory editor, and is fully functional.

Cocoa Beans have a dark brown texture and can be used to color wool. Notch revealed on Twitter that Cocoa Beans will also be used to make Cookies in Beta 1.4. They will sometimes appear in dungeon chests, but it is unknown whether this will be the only way to get them.
