    Brief Description:
    Farming

    Open Discussion:
    Cocoa beans when fully grown yield 2-3 beans. 3 beans always with a fortune 3 tool. That's .30 cents per crop. Alright, maybe it's because the crop is easy to farm? Hardly! This crop is hard to farm because it has to grow, not out of the ground, but SIDEWAYS OFF A TREE. This is rediculously hard to farm and even with water farms, wheat yields more money at 1.25/crop. Cocoa beans are overshadowed by EVERY other crop available and a variety to farming is necessary. Hourly rates haven't been calculated, but at .30c/crop it can be expected to probably be under 1k.

    A lot of people could probably use a change of pace with farming, like farming cocoa beans and still make an easy amount of money.

    But mainly this would be for builders. We need a crop that builders can farm easily, and get a good amount of money, yet having that money low enough so that professional farmers would never do it.

    as for it being harder to farm, i disagree, you can just have a row of it, 2 block up, and hold forward/break at the same town. However, it does need a boost as it yields 20 cents a crop (after you replant)

    But on a serious note, awesome! I very much appreciate the work being put in to make sure the different types of farming are balanced.
