In 23w07a Cherry Grove Biomes were introduced.
On a vanilla server of the same seed (with 1-20 experimental turned on) you can do /locate biome minecraft:cherry_grove and it comes back with "Could not find a biome of type "minecraft:cherry_grove" within reasonable distance".
On a world of the same seed (with 1-20 experimental turned on) in single player you can do /locate biome minecraft:cherry_grove and it correctly locates the biome.
This isn't an issue with the command as if you teleport to the same location on the single-player world and the server, one goes to a cherry grove and the other goes to a meadow.

I should note the world is not new but hardly generated and 1.20 experimental features are enabled and working, just not the biome generating. To ensure the chunks weren't already preloaded I teleported far out and confirmed the locate biome command wouldn't work and double checked by going to the same spot as a single player world that had one.
Relates to MC-260157.
If you want to turn on generating this biome without generating new world right now do this:
1. Download NBTExplorer.
2. Stop server.
3. Open level.dat file from your world folder.
4. Find Data -> WorldGenSettings -> dimensions -> minecraft:overworld -> generator -> biome_source -> preset.
5. Change the value from "minecraft:overworld" to "minecraft:overworld_update_1_20".
6. Save and start server.
If you run the server and THEN turn on experimental packs, the biome will not spawn. Please try to recreate the issue by deleting and regenerating the world on your server, while the pack is already enabled.
