Hello fellow MineRealmians!

I just recently discovered that water cannot destroy Cocoa Beans and Sugarcane.
Water not being able to destroy SugarCane is a great feature for it reduces the height of a sugarcane farm by one block, which is great. I tried searching for a similar thread but couldn't after looking through a few pages.

While constructing a Cocoa Bean farm in Single Player, I recreated it in MineRealm and this view broke my heart:

Allowing the ability of water to destroy cocoa beans makes farming it much more efficient (versus pistons). The use of pistons all around a Jungle Wood tree is also an eye sore.

Let me know what you guys think!

It doesn't really matter that much because cocoa beans are practically worthless as well as useless, due to the free melon farm at spawn.

If you want to set up a farm without water you could do it like this:

[]-|[j][x][j][x]....[j][x][j]_|-[]

[]-| piston
[j] junglewood block
[x] anything but a junglewood block (or block that can't be moved by pistons)
_ empty space

Just plant the cocoabeans on the junglewood and when you are ready to harvest activate the piston that will push the row of blocks to one side. (Then replant and activate the piston on the other side to harvest again)

You could also stack these on top of each other as high as you want.

[]-|[j][x][j][x]....[j][x][j]_|-[]
[]-|[j][x][j][x]....[j][x][j]_|-[]
[]-|[j][x][j][x]....[j][x][j]_|-[]
[]-|[j][x][j][x]....[j][x][j]_|-[]
.

.

It will have half the efficiency of the water version but at least it's auto harvest.

I know it's pretty much worthless, but I'm pretty much going for a highly efficient farm that produces everything in a compact space.
Having this change will lead to a more compact and efficient design in farming cocoa beans. Whether or not their useless, a day may come where I would need to use massive amounts of brown wool and this would greatly come in handy.

I appreciate the piston design, I have a similar one that circles the jungle wood to get all sides going in Single Player

bump for more exposure.

There are dozens of blocks in minerealm that do not behave correctly or two depending on how you look at it I replaced the water design with a piston wall design, there are no visible pistons/redstone and it can be built on any scale.
