Well since Cocoa Beans will get there own plants in an upcoming snapshot. (Check the wiki and twitter for proof). I feel like they should get another use. They are good for Cookies. Which is cool since cookies are the only type of food which heals 1/2 hunger bar. And they are good for brown wool, which is easy to get in other ways.
So Cocoa Beans really don't have much use. So here is my idea. Chocolate milk. You just craft a bucket of milk with some Cocoa Beans and it gives you a bucket of Milk. Will look like a bucket of milk, but have brown milk.
Now I have a few ideas for how it should work. Pick which one you like best. (They will all still stop poison like regular milk)
Heal a hunger bar every 5 seconds for 20-30 seconds.
Give you faster speed for for 20-30 seconds.
Instantly heal Health instead of Hunger like the old food system. Will heal 2-4 hearts.
Increase one heart every 3-4 seconds. But take away one food bar every 3-4 seconds as well. Would last 20-30 seconds.
Any other ideas for how Chocolate Milk would work?
Almost all these options are used up by other things in the game,
1 Food healing would be to time consuming and weird, Why can't you just eat two slabs of steak and move on?
2 Faster moving would be weird because we already have the potion of swiftness.
3 Why would we need a mechanic like the old food system? I agree with some other user that said that you shouldn't be able to instantly heal in the heat of the battle.
4 This one is just weird, You can eat food and get health AND keep your hunger but if you drink this milk you gain health but lose hunger?
I am sorry but i don't see any use for this ingame.
Possible, there IS cocoa beans, sugar and milk in minecraft already, besides cookies don't heal you worth a flip ither so
what does it matter. You like cookies? You like milk? You like to dip your cookies in milk? Don't tell me you don't like chocolate milk. Seems pretty obvious to me...
Should just be chocolate milk, maybe something more like it just increases the speed of your ability to heal over time slightly.
