Cocoa beans are a food ingredient obtained from cocoa that can be used to craft cookies and brown dye. Cocoa beans are mainly found in the jungle biomes.

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.

Usage[edit]
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 a jungle log plants a new cocoa pod. (The log does not need to be attached to a tree). A cocoa pod can be placed to jungle logs, jungle wood, stripped jungle logs and stripped jungle wood.
Cocoa has three stages of growth. During its first stage, 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, pushed by a piston, or if their log is removed by any means.

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

The top textures of cocoa always keep a completely constant rotation, regardless of what direction they face. They also have no ambient occlusion whatsoever. Cocoa with values 12–15 is 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 texture in terrain.png, as cocoa textures are arranged with the oldest on the left and the youngest on the right, resulting in the unusually ripe cocoa reading the dragon egg texture. | ||||

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.
- Before they were made renewable, Cocoa Beans were considered rarer than diamonds.
