So As Many Know..Cocoa Beans Are now Actually Plants
However..Cookies and Dye's Are not really A lot for Cocoa Beans..So..Ideas!
CHOCOLATE MILK
Simple Idea really... Chocolate Milk would be New Food to the Game..And it actually has 2 Abilities to Help you!
1.It replenishes your Hunger bar by 2 2.It Cures Sickness (Cause of Regular Milk)
To craft Chocolate Milk you need a Bucket With Milk and 1 Cocoa Bean..
= Cocoa = Bucket with Milk
Also..If you Place Chocolate Milk in a Furnace and Heat it Up..You will get Warm Milk..Which Replenishes 3 Hunger,Cures Sickness and Makes you Immune to Sickness for 5 Minutes..This would be Usefull If you have a Lot of Rotten flesh that Needs to be eaten
Chocolate
Unlike Milk..Chocolate Needs a Bit More to be Made..However it is Better than Milk itself.. This is how to Make Chocolate:
1.Place 9 Cocoa Beans In a Crafting Bench And it will be grinded Up..Giving you 2 Grinded Cocoa 2.In the Crafting table put 2 Sugar Anywhere you want with 2 Grinded Cocoa to Get 1 Sugared Cocoa 3.Use a Bucket with Milk in it and Pour it into a Cauldron 4.Place the Sugared Cocoa In the Cauldron with the Milk 5.Then you Get Chocolate Syrup..However..Not chocolate still..ALSO..You can drink the Syrup for 1.5 Hunger 6.Get a Bucket and Fill it with The Syrup..The Cauldron has enough Syrup for 3 Buckets. 7.Than You have to Wait 1 Entire day for the Syrup to harden!
8.Simply have the Syrup in your Inventory or a Chest..And let it cool and Harden
9.Place The Hardened Syrup in a Crafting Bench and you will get 4 Pieces of Chocolate..
Chocolate Gives you 2.5 Hunger..Multiply with 4 And you get 10 Hunger..So 4 Pieces of Chocolate is Enough to Fill your Entire Hunger bar back!
ALSO..
Remember that The Cauldron has enough Syrup for 3 Buckets!
All In all with 3 Buckets..You can get 12 Pieces of Chocolate..Or 3 Entire Hunger bars!
It might Seem a bit Op..But For 9 Cocoa Beans you need about..4-5 Cocoa..Not a lot..But still a bit Costly..
IMPORTANT NOTE!!!!
If you Place something else Instead of Cocoa in the Cauldron Before it becomes Syrup..You can actually Make Diffrent flavored Chocolate Which makes the Chocolate Shine and Make it Have an Ability!
Example..
Put 1 Sugar before it is Syrup..Eat the Chocolate and you will get a Temporary speed boost for 1 Minute!
Things you could Combine:
Redstone- Night Vision for 1 Minute
Blaze Powder - Fire Resistance for 2 Minutes ( Remember that you can get 4 Chocolate And Even more! )
Ghast Tear- Increased Mob Spawn for 2 Minutes
Sugar - Temporary Speed boost for 1 Minute
Melon - .5 Extra Hunger
Apple - Increases Crop Gain For 1 Entire Day (Melons,Pumpkins,Wheat and Even Cocoa Itself! )
Gold Nugget - Gives a 10% Chance Of getting a Higher Drop on Ores (Double Diamond FTW! )
Chocolate Cake
Simple and Short Suggestion.. Instead of Putting 3 Buckets of Milk..Put 3 Bucket's Of Chocolate Milk.. Chocolate Cake has a Diffrent look..More Chocolate Like
Also..It Refills 2 Hunger instead of 1 !!!
Brownies
Also MY Favorite Sweet XD
Brownies are Simple..And they give 2 Hunger.. To craft them You need 1 Wheat and 4 Cocoa!
Just place the Wheat in the Middle and Cover it with the 4 Cocoa at the Sides!
You get 2 Brownies
(If you check..8 cookies equal 4 Hunger..2 Brownies Equal 4 Hunger..So it's the same..Just diffrent amount Of Hunger Gain)
Like Minecraft isn't Childish Enough..Many people I know are Also Kids and they Play Minecraft..Also the Sole Purpose of these was More Uses for Cocoa Beans..Not Childish Treats and Snacks..
I mean..The Cake Update Was awesome..Who wouldn't want a Chocolate Cake!
Also I want to clear something out..Just because It seems Childish that doesn't mean You shouldn't support or At least say Why Not Support..
Simply saying: "These are Childish" Gives no detail what so ever.
And to Finish off..These are Childish indeed..However with the Current use of Cocoa Beans..This would be the Only Use..Cocoa beans are Used for Chocolate..Chocolate Milk..Practicly..Anything Chocolate!
So If you have a Better Idea for Cocoa Beans..Please say so.
ehhh seem a bit too op considering cookies only heal 1 thing so you need 10 cookies. maybe make them a little less healing and powerful and they would be good. but i do agree on one thing we need a ton of more uses for coco. now that itll be so easy to obtain......
What is With all The odd Capitalization? It's very distracting and it seems like your consciously doing it. I could see chocolate cake being crafted, but all other recipies don't really add anything to the game other than additional uses for coco beans. Adding food to Minecraft is a tricky thing. You don't want it to become a very easy to obtain food source that makes it the most efficient food as far as procuring and stamina restoration. Melons, for example, are easy to grow, but provide a very small amount of stamina and require a fair bit of exploration to obtain initially. Cooked beef requires effort to obtain and even more effort to obtain renewable (wheat production, fenced pen, breed and cull the heard), but it restores a lot of stamina.Once you find a jungle though, you'll have a very renewable source of coco. All you require beyond that is sugar (which sugar cane is very easy to farm in large quantities) and milk (which you only need one cow and buckets and your set for life).
My point is your adding a lot of food for just one material resource (coco beans) and you add them in a way that unbalances the game. We are far more likely to add a food source that can be found in other biomes and helps players stay alive during the beginning of the game. Your not going to win a lot of support unless a lot of people are just chocolate addicts.

These sound like a great idea, but it is pointless since people would dwell in the jungle, and people would have walk miles for their desire of power. Immunity power and etc.? That would totally overthrow the balance of the game. Could you even imagine people griefing all out with their immunity and healing, nonetheless how ****ed the ops would be? It is a bit childish, and it wouldn't be if you don't put so much power in the coco beans.
However..Cookies and Dye's Are not really A lot for Cocoa Beans..So..Ideas!

I'm all for this idea.
