This article is about Cocoa Beans. For the Block, see Cocoa Plants.

Cocoa Beans (also known as the Brown Dye) are a material used for making Cookies and brown wool. Cocoa Beans were initially introduced in the Beta 1.2 update, but were not able to be obtained without an Inventory Editor.

As of Beta 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. In 12w16a, cocoa beans are obtainable in bonus chests. In 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. Cocoa Plants provided an additional way of obtaining them in 12w19a.

Jeb Said during his Dreamhack presentation that cocoa trees are pending.^[2] Cocoa Beans are among the rarest obtainable items on old maps (after cookies) as they can only be found in dungeons generated after Beta 1.4. The use of cookies as a 'trophy item' gives cocoa considerable value on unmodified servers, even more so than diamonds. With cocoa beans now being obtainable from jungle trees in 12w18a, they are no longer as rare.

[edit] History

• In the 12w18a snapshot, Cocoa Beans became a rare drop from jungle trees much like Apples.

• As of the 12w19a snapshot, Cocoa Bean Pods generate on Jungle Trees under the leaves, and can also be harvested and replanted.

[edit] Gallery

• 

  When a Jungle biome intersects with another biome, Cocoa Bean Pods are visible in the tree's leaves.
