Glow berries are a new food item in Minecraft, but players may not be entirely certain on how to spot them in a normal Minecraft world.
That’s because there’s a little bit of a catch. Aside from being potential loot found in mineshaft loot chests, glow berries can’t be naturally generated yet in standard worlds in Minecraft 1.17.1.
This is due to them spawning in lush cave biomes, which can only be generated at the moment if Minecraft: Java Edition players create a custom or buffet world, or if Minecraft: Bedrock Edition players toggle on the experimental gameplay setting.

Since glow berries double as a foodstock and a light source, many players will jump at the opportunity to spot them when they’re fully implemented in future Minecraft versions.
