Wandering Cocoa
by The Omen Den
Wandering Cocoa lets wandering traders offer Cocoa Beans for emeralds, a trade that is not present in Java Edition.
What it does
The mod adds Cocoa Beans to the trade pool of wandering traders, so emeralds can be exchanged for them. Players who want a steady supply of cocoa can rely on these trades instead of farming jungle trees. Brown dye can also be traded for Cocoa Beans, which gives a second route to the item.
Bedrock Edition already has wandering traders that offer Cocoa Beans, and this mod brings that behavior to Java Edition. Installing it adds the trades to the existing wandering trader without changing anything else in the game. Architectury API, Fabric API and JamLib are required and must be present on both sides.
The mod is published for Fabric and NeoForge, with files for 1.21 and 1.21.1. Its environment is client and server, and it is released under the MIT License as open source, with a public source repository and issue tracker.

Use cases
Cocoa supply on servers
Server owners who want Cocoa Beans without a long jungle trip can point players to the wandering trader.

Players building with cocoa blocks or cookies can obtain the beans through trades rather than farming.
Who it’s for: Players who want Cocoa Beans through trades, and server owners who run multiplayer worlds with wandering traders and want to offer the same trades.
How it compares
Wandering Trades is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.4, released under CC0 1.0 Universal, so it covers a different version. Better Wandering Trader Trades (BWTT) is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 under All rights reserved, which makes it the closest match in version. Wandering Trader + works on Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 26.1.2 under the MIT License, so it reaches more loaders and versions.
