Only problem is they also come from dirt at an early level in excavation...
figures....
Can't you just sell em to players tho ?
So very pro-this.
Even if they were to be sold at like 16 cocoa beans for 8nbz. It wouldn't have to be a high amount. Just a way to sell cocoa beans. You can't really automate them either..
For another way to earn money..?
It gives people more options to choose from instead of "The only thing you can do to earn money is to mine cobblestone and chop trees. Sorry Mate."

Nor do I see why people would need to sell people cocoa beans because once you have one cocoa bean you can make a huge farm of them. So yeah I think cocoa beans should be added to the /shop even if it is at a very smell price per.

It's actually very easy to automate a cocoa farm, it's a bud switch with a sticky piston to "bump" the tree... just saying.
i think "automating" would refer to auto replanting, auto harvesting and auto storing cocoa beans using a lot of redstone, hoppers, repeaters etc. or i could be wrong but i think that might be the meaning of "automating" in this case.
You can't just add everything that doesnt serve a ton of function to the shop. The shop is there to stimulate the economy to a point of self-sustaining. It's not there to let people sell every object they find on the floor and inflate the server currency. Be happy we have a shop to generate money by selling any objects at all, because it doesn't need to exist. It's current iteration is a good balance of economic growth and inflation control and it should stay as it is. You can't just implement things that will impact an economy willy nilly. It takes thoughtfulness to create a balance that works, and I appreciate the economy thats been created for us.
We all appreciate the /shop command and it's functions. We also would like to see more items added to it as well though. That's why we have the suggestions and ideas subforum. To add in our two cents. And yes, you were adding in your two cents by saying we don't need to add anything else to the shop. but, consider this. You have a farm for cocoa beans and you are making bank out of beans. You don't know what to do with all of them. Players will only buy a few then will never buy again as they can then get tons beans within a few days or so. I think if it were added to shop but had a very low price, it would even itself out. None of us are saying cocoa beans should be added for a few hundred a piece. But being able to sell them to shop to make atleast some profits off of them would indeed be nice. If it were 16 for 8 NBZ or 16 for 4NBZ it'd be okay. As long as we can sell them and earn some profits off of our farms. That's all we are asking.
Why do you have a cocoa bean farm if you can't do anything with them? Why do you continue farming them if you have loads of them and still no need for them?
