Where Cherry Groves Generate
Cherry groves generate on elevated mountain terrain, commonly on lower mountain slopes near meadows and snowy peaks. Their pink leaf canopy is visible from far away.

How to Find Cherry Groves
Cherry Groves favor elevated terrain, and their pink canopy usually becomes visible well before the biome boundary is reached.
What to Look For
- Follow large mountain chains rather than searching flat lowlands
- Scan the slopes below snowy peaks for bright pink tree cover
- Use a high viewpoint, boat route, or Elytra to check several mountains efficiently
Find Cherry Groves with Commands
Use /locate biome minecraft:cherry_grove in Java Edition; in Bedrock, select cherry_grove after typing /locate biome.
Common Search Problems
If the search is taking much longer than expected, check these common causes.
- A mountain range can have suitable height without generating a Cherry Grove
- Small groves may sit on the far side of a peak
- Planted cherry trees do not indicate the natural biome
