In the 5E 2024 Sorcerous Burst cantrip part of the spell description says - "If you roll an 8 on a d8 for this spell, you can roll another d8, and add it to the damage. When you cast this spell, the maximum number of these d8s you can add to the spell's damage equals your spellcasting ability modifier."

The damage dice doesn't explode when rolling an 8. AFAIK, this is the only official 5E rule that uses exploding dice.

Edit it won't happen a lot at low levels but once you have enough levels to get multiple dice for you cantrips you should start getting a fair amount of explosions.

Yeah, the 5E ruleset doesn't support exploding dice at this time; it will need to be handled manually at the table for now and added to the feature requests.
