Suggestion Farmers should get exp from farming cocoa beans

[Joey_Beans]

Since they get exp from farming all the other types of crops, cocoa beans should be included as well.

it was removed because it was exploitable. cocoa beans are not a block, and you could simply look at a jungle log with cocoa beans in hand, put some weight on the mouse to hold left and right click, walk away, and come back an hour or 2 later and find yourself 10-15 levels higher, if not more.

Damn, well that sucks. Thanks for the info.

No.

And it isn't possible to make it only give XP at the last stage of growth?

No since the different stages don't have ID's. The difference is that crops such as wheat have a physical "Wheat Crop" block ID 59

Cocoa bean plants are a block as shown in the image pulled from the Minecraft Wiki. There are however issues in getting cocoa beans to give EXP only when in their last stage of growth but I don't know the specifics of the problem.
Block ID 127 in the chart below is cocoa beans.

What if you add that time limit on it, just like it is for regular blocks placed by players? That way you can't spam the xp exploit.
