    I am just wondering how much the average builder could make cocoa farming in an hr? I would like to know cause i have a multifarm with cocoa. I remember it being decent money but cant remember how much you make exactly.

    I would say quite a bit,
    I make around $500 maybe every 10-20 minutes,
    But my farm isnt that big, but its enough so that when i finish replanting its almost ready at the start.
    Its all about the time it takes to replant. If you can double up on replanting, its quite quick money as it grows fast.

    I don't know the exact numbers, but I do know that it won't be anything with great profits, unless you're willing to build a MASSIVE cocoa farm

    I have a semi-automatic farm makes about 1 large chest full and then some when it is completely up but i normally do it 2 or 3 times a day. Replanting is really annoying tho...
    Its 38 width and about 12 blocks up 2 rows of them.

    I have a nice farm that has a bridge on top that sends down water and collects it all then I use fly to replant it I was going to make it bigger but I did not see reason for it as it was already full grown on the other side by the time I was done here's a picture. Il fill it up tonight and figure out exactly how much im making.

    Alright so I coco bean farmed for an hour with my semi auto farm and made 19k in one hour could possibly push it to 20k, keep in mind its semi auto and highly efficient its also big enough so I never have to stop.

    Well, if you make 20k an hour, you almost have to subtract more than half of that to account for replanting don't you? like, 20k in one hour, but spend two hours replanting it, that would cut your profits down to like 5k an hour. See where I'm coming from?

    if you have eff 5, fort 3, unb 3 axe and you go for 1 hour straight hacking away at cocoa beans, I'm sure you would leave a massive path of destruction. This would most likely take 2-3x the time to replant since chopping with axe is much faster than individual clicking with the seeds.
