Minecraft wiki entry for Cocoa_Beans, associated text: 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.
