可可果可以被种植在丛林木方块的侧面,对光照无要求。丛林木侧面需要留出一格空间让可可果生长。丛林木并不需要是一棵活着的丛林树的一部分, 因此我们可以很容易地用被砍下的从林木建造一个巨大的可可果农场,并更好地利用农场空间。
种植
一个非自动化可可果农场的最优空间利用是像这样的:
图例:
你可以垂直地或是水平地重复这一模式(横向扩张或者纵向重叠)以建造起更大的农场。垂直扩张的农场在空间利用和产量上更加高效,但是随着层数越来越高也会越来越难以收获和再种植。在设计你的农场时,始终记住你无法够到你所站立方块6个方块以上和4个方块以下的距离,所以一种平衡了播种/收割简易度和最大化产量的办法就是挖一个4格深的沟并使从林木高出地面6格。
如果可可果本身被玩家攻击或被活塞推动,或是可可豆所生长的从林木被活塞推动,或是有水流占据了可可果生长的位置,或是从林木被摧毁的情况下,可可果都会受到破坏。所有的自动收割机制都是基于以上的原理。(理论上TNT也可以拿来收获可可果,不过这样成本很高,而且再种植起来也很麻烦。)
还有另一种选择,在空间利用率上有些不足但更易于操作且产量也很高的设计是:造一面任意宽度的墙,然后在两面种满可可果。这样做会使得种植和收获更加容易,因为你只需要照顾两个面。
建造一个巨大的可可果农场既不现实也没有必要,因为可可果的生长速度很快,一个相对较小的种植面积就能带来足够的产量。豆荚生长迅速,几分钟即可成熟。从每个成熟的可可果可以获得3个可可豆,每个可可豆可以用来制作8个饼干或是将一个羊毛染成棕色。At about 80% Pod maturity you will almost always see at least a 200% return on your planting, making it almost trivial to obtain all the beans you may want.
Mechanisms
No designs for a fully automatic farm are available at this time, as you are required to manually place Cocoa Beans on the Jungle Wood to plant Pods, however semi-automatic farms that harvest automatically but still require manual planting are possible and relatively cheap to build.
Currently there are two major variations of the semi-automatic farm, piston harvested and water harvested.
Piston harvested farms use a single "trunk" of Jungle Wood, planted on all 4 sides with Cocoa Plants. Pistons either push the trunk, causing the grown beans to be removed, or scrape the beans from the trunk. (Other designs raise and lower the trunk in rapid succession; but these utilize more complex redstone circuits and are not significantly more useful, cheap or efficient than simpler designs.) Piston designs suffer from universally low yields, somewhat expensive and complex circuit design (compared to alternatives) and general space inefficiency.
Water harvested farms may also have a single block trunk of some height, but a much higher yield is possible by building walls and allowing the water to cascade over them to scrape off the pods.
Wall design
Planting cocoa beans on the 4 sides of a log makes it harder to replant, so a wall of jungle wood makes the fastest design possible. For a compact design the wall must be also partially underground so as to make the most out of your planting reach. This design uses dispensers, that are cheaper than other design's pistons, and the use of redstone is minimum. The design is modular, with units of one dispenser and 3 blocks wide wall.
Tips
- If you have a jungle tree house, it might be useful to have a cocoa farm in it.
