[edit] Farming

Main article: Tutorials/Cocoa Bean farming

The player is able to plant Cocoa Beans on the side of Jungle tree logs. The 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. 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 immediately mature the Cocoa Pod forward 1 stage of growth. Cocoa Beans will become harvested when pushed by a piston. Cocoa Beans can also be harvested by water for efficient farming. Also, if there is a Cocoa bean smaller than the Cocoa bean below it, you are able to climb it by jumping on top of it.

[edit] History

Beta
1.2		Cocoa beans were initially introduced, but were only obtainable through an inventory editor.
1.4		Cocoa beans were formally brought into the game as a reward found in dungeon chests.^[1] (53% chance) Also as of Beta 1.4, brown sheep naturally spawn which made obtaining brown wool easier.
Official release
1.3.1	12w16a	Cocoa beans are obtainable in bonus chests.
	12w18a	Cocoa beans have a small (0.5%) chance of dropping from destroyed jungle tree leaves in a similar fashion to Apples, making cocoa beans a renewable source of material for the first time.
	12w19a	Leaves no longer drop cocoa beans. But Cocoa Pods are introduced and provide an additional way of obtaining them.

In a snapshot version, cocoa bean pods were experimental and were visible in the tree's leaves when a jungle biome intersected with another biome.
