As of right now, cocoa beans are rare items found in dungeons that are used to make cookies (inefficient food source), or brown dye (found more commonly on brown sheep). It's more or less useless in its current form. I think it's time to finally give them the attention they deserve. Here are my ideas:
-A cocoa sapling, rather than cocoa beans themselves, will be found in dungeons. Upon growth, it will grow into a cocoa tree, with a retextured structure of a regular oak tree, with each leaf having a 1 in 4 chance of dropping a cocoa bean.
-However, cocoa trees do not produce saplings of their own upon destruction of their leaves. Instead, oak leaves next to cocoa leaves have a chance of dropping cocoa saplings. The probability of an oak leaf dropping a cocoa sapling rather than an oak sapling increases based on the amount of time spent next to each other and the proximity of the leaves.
-In addition to cookies, coffee can be crafted from cocoa beans like so (seeds are beans):
Coffee is essentially a nerfed speed potion, capable of being made without farming nether wart. In addition, it provides 3 temporary hearts of health, which last for 1 minute before beginning to deplete to its original level. It cannot be cheated; if you drink two coffee at the same time, you will lose 6 hearts at the end of the period. It is possible to die of a "caffeine overdose" in this way.
It's a good idea. However, how would cocoa beans spontaneously turn into coffee? It'd make more sense if you used the cocoa beans (possibly with the addition of sugar) to make hot chocolate or the like.
I don't think Notch and Jeb would implement something like this in the near future; they've got a lot of more important things to work on before the full release. However, this is a very mod-worthy concept, and could even be fleshed out to include recipes for crafting bars of chocolate and such.

...in a manner depriving me of an inertial reference frame.
Thanks for the feedback. Maybe the coffee and cocoa concepts could be separated, with hot chocolate providing nourishment based on climate conditions (up to 5 in cold biomes, none in desert biomes) and a separate plant and drink for the coffee concept. I just fused them together in order to increase the usefulness of cocoa beans as is.
The things needed to make coffee would be coffee beans... im not sure if they come from a normal plant or a tree.... :dry.gif: still great idea... another drink besides bottled water(1.9) and milk :biggrin.gif: this should be in vanilla Minecraft!

I liked this idea...
it would give a sense of finding cocoa beans, however i think there is a server plugin whit the one apples and cocoa beans have a chance of being dropped by leaves
I think this a a great idea making cocoa trees would actually be rewarding, as of coffee it should give you a sugar rush the first time you drink it and end in no effect.
