What tool should I use to harvest cocoa beans?

Solution 1:

I always used the hand for cocoa beans, and I never had any problem. It may be a problem of lag, or the versión you are using, I would recommend you to use the latest version available. For example: if you are using 1.12.1 switch to 1.12.2, or if you are using 1.14 switch to 1.14.4. If you are already using the latest version, try deleting the version from the “versions” folder on %appdata%.minecraft and running the game on that version again.
