Vanilla patches are common in savannas, and the vanilla can be upright, sideways or hanging. Breaking vanilla without shears is a bad idea.
Cocoa beans are now a fair bit more useful. They make chocolate, a food source and uncanny building material.

Banana plants can be found in jungles and beaches. Placing their fronds on sand or gravel and having them exposed to rain makes them grow into another banana plant. Bananas themselves allow you to climb all blocks when eaten.
Large groups of chimpanzees can occasionally be found near banana plants in jungles. They can often be seen grooming each other and shaking the bundles of banana plants for food. Being curious creatures, they love interacting with various items and blocks.
Chimpanzees will attack anything that attacks them. Additionally, shooting a bananarrow (crafted with an arrow and a banana) at any mob will provoke chimps to attack it.
