Cocoa beans are a food ingredient obtained from cocoa pods that are used to plant them, and also to craft cookies and brown dye.
Cocoa pods are plants used to grow cocoa beans.
Obtaining[]
Breaking[]
Cocoa pods can be mined with any item, but axes are the quickest. In Bedrock Edition, fully grown cocoa pods drop 2–3 cocoa beans; the chances of this behavior are unknown. Using a tool enchanted with Fortune does not increase the amount of cocoa beans dropped.

Usage[]
Farming[]
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 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 bigger, and orange-brown. In Java Edition 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 two or three 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 is removed by any means.
Crafting ingredient[]
In Bedrock Edition, cocoa beans are accepted as a direct substitute of brown dye in many recipes.

Cocoa "item"[]
The following content is transcluded from Technical blocks/Cocoa.This section is missing information about Test placed metadata and replacement capabilities.
Please expand the section to include this information. Further details may exist on the talk page.
| Cocoa has an extra, unobtainable item form corresponding to its block ID, which uses the fully grown texture. It can be obtained via the /give command or inventory editors with numeric item ID 127. |
| The item is obtainable in this snapshot via pick block in Creative mode.[4] |
| The cocoa item can be placed anywhere, and result in suspended cocoa.[5] |
| Unlike cocoa beans at the time, cocoa has a placement sound (that of wood). |
| Pick Block used on cocoa now returns cocoa beans. |
| The direct item form of cocoa has been removed from the game. It can no longer exist as an item in any way, only as a placed block. |
| Cocoa exists as an item. |
| Attempting to place a cocoa item in an invalid space does not consume the cocoa, even in survival; however, cocoa beans are dropped at that location.[6] It renders for a frame if placed on a non-jungle log, and is consumed if replacing an existing replaceable block such as grass. |
Appearances[]
| The cocoa item now uses the aforementioned texture when in an item frame. |
| This is likely due to model handling changes in this version. |

Issues[]
Issues relating to "Cocoa Beans" or "Cocoa Pod" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.
Trivia[]
- 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.[8][9]

What is the easiest way to get cocoa beans in Minecraft?
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.
Can you get cocoa beans without a jungle?
You can find cocoa beans from any chest that spawns in the world. Villages before 1.6 will trade beans to you and you can find them on trees.
Do cocoa beans spawn from jungle saplings?
Cocoa pods, or cocoa bean pods, are the planted form of cocoa beans. They spawn naturally on jungle trees, which only spawn in jungle biomes.
