Cocoa beans are items obtained from cocoa pods, and are used to plant more of them as well as to craft brown dye and cookies.

Cocoa pods are plant blocks that can only be placed on jungle log sides and grow cocoa beans. They can be found naturally in jungles.

In Java Edition, cocoa beans are only obtained through the natural generation of cocoa pods, while in Bedrock Edition, they can also be found in bonus chests and from fishing inside the jungle, bamboo jungle and sparse jungle biomes.

The block itself can be obtained by inventory editing or add-ons in Bedrock Edition.

Cocoa beans come from cocoa pods, which are found on naturally-generated jungle logs in jungle and sparse jungle biomes. Cocoa pods do not generate on jungle trees grown from saplings.

Cocoa pods can be mined with any item, but axes are the quickest. Fully grown cocoa pods drop 3 cocoa beans. Using a tool enchanted with Fortune does not increase the amount of cocoa beans dropped.

1-2 cocoa beans can be found in 40% of bonus chests in Bedrock Edition.

{ "item": "Cocoa Beans", "stacksize": "1–2", "chance": 0.4, "structure": "Bonus Chest", "container": "Chest" }

Cocoa beans can be obtained from fishing in a jungle in Bedrock Edition.

Placing cocoa beans 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 on 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 larger and orange. The cocoa block has a 20% chance to grow a stage when receiving a random tick, giving it an average time of 5 minutes and 41 seconds per stage. When destroyed in the first two stages, the pod yields only one cocoa bean. When destroyed in the third stage, it gives 3 cocoa beans. Bone meal can be used to force the cocoa pod forward by one growth stage. Cocoa pods burst and drop their beans when struck by flowing water, pushed by a piston or if their log or wood are removed by any means.

Placing cocoa beans into a composter has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

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

In Bedrock Edition and Minecraft Education, cocoa beans can be:

• Applied to sheep to dye their wool, which can then be sheared for 1–3 blocks of brown wool.
• Applied to tamed wolves to dye their collars.
• Applied to tamed cats to dye their collars.
• Used to dye or stain wool, leather armor, beds, glass, terracotta, shulker boxes, candles, and harnesses.
• Combined with gunpowder to make a firework star.
• Combined with a firework star to create a fade-to-color effect.
• Used to add patterns to banners.
• Used to dye shulkers in Bedrock Edition and Minecraft Education.
• Used to dye water contained in cauldrons in Bedrock Edition and Minecraft Education.
• Combined with sand and gravel to craft concrete powder.
• Combined with compounds to craft balloons or glow sticks in Bedrock Edition and Minecraft Education.
• Used to change the color of text on signs or hanging signs.

In Bedrock Edition, cocoa beans can be also used in banner patterns:

Issues relating to "Cocoa Beans" or "Cocoa Pod" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.

• In real life, cocoa beans are the seeds of the cacao tree, which grows pods that contain 20 to 60 beans each.
• Cocoa pods have a different hitbox for each size; however, the top is always 0.25 blocks below the top of the log 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.
• In Bedrock Edition, the pixels on top of the fully grown pod are 8/7 the size of those on the side.^[4][5]
