Cocoa Beans

Cocoa beans (also known as the brown dye) are one of the primary color dyes for wool. It is also used for making cookies. They can be found as cocoa pods, which grow on the side of jungle trees.

Farming
Cocoa beans come from cocoa pods, which are found naturally in Jungle biomes. Placing a cocoa bean on the side of a jungle wood log will plant a new cocoa pod. (The log need not 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 will yield only one cocoa bean. When destroyed in the third stage, it will give two or three cocoa beans. Bone meal can be used to force the cocoa pod forward 1 stage of growth. Cocoa pods will "pop" and drop their beans when struck by flowing water, pushed by a piston, or if their log is removed by any means.

Usage
A cocoa bean can also be planted on the side of a Jungle wood log (see above).
