Cherry Grove biome in Minecraft
The Cherry Grove is a mountain biome covered in pink cherry trees, with Pink Petals carpeting the grass. It is the only biome where cherry trees grow naturally, it has its own music, and its slopes hide emerald ore, which makes it a great spot for a scenic base.

Structures in the Cherry Grove
Pink trees on the slopes
Cherry Groves sit on mountain slopes, often next to a Meadow. Every tree is a cherry: a Cherry Log trunk that splits into one to three curved branches, topped with Cherry Leaves that shed pink particles. Under them the ground is covered with Pink Petals, the only flower of the biome, along with short and tall grass. Petals craft into pink dye, and cherry leaves drop the Cherry Sapling. Cherry logs give pink planks, a favourite for gardens, bridges and soft-coloured builds.
Bees and honey
A cherry tree is far more likely to carry a Bee Nest than an oak or a birch in a Forest, so you will often hear bees buzzing between the trunks. To collect honey safely, place a Campfire under the nest. Once the nest is full, use a Glass Bottle for honey or Shears for honeycomb. Without the smoke, the whole nest attacks you. To bring bees to your base, lure them with a flower in your hand, or mine the nest with Silk Touch to carry it away with its bees inside.
Mining and dangers
As a mountain biome, the Cherry Grove has Emerald Ore in its stone, which you won't find under the lowland forests. It also hides Infested Stone: it looks like normal stone but releases a Silverfish when mined. A Pillager Outpost can stand on the hills, so watch for crossbow fire. Only pigs, rabbits and sheep spawn here, with no cows or chickens, so bring some food or start a farm early.

Which mobs spawn in the Cherry Grove?
Rabbit, Sheep, Pig, Spider, Skeleton, Creeper, Slime, Zombie, Enderman, Zombie Villager, Witch, Bat and Glow Squid. Bee: Lives in Bee Nests generated on some trees (2 to 3 bees per nest).
