Cocoa Beans



Cocoa Beans are a material used in Dye-making, introduced in the Beta 1.2 update. It has a dark brown texture and can be used to color wool. Jeb tweeted that he "removed one of the minecraft dyes." This was presumably the brown dye; however, it hasn't been technically removed, as it's a fully functional item in the game. There's simply no way to acquire it in-game without mods or using an inventory editor. Notch has announced that Cocoa Beans can be collected in Beta 1.4 and that it is used to make Cookies. They will also appear in dungeon chests, but will be very rare, this is confirmed via Notch's response to a request for this feature on twitter.
