Changing the biome in survival.

As of right now, there is no way to artificially set up a biome, yes we can transport all the blocks and trees, and make it look like that biome. But what if there was a way too make it officially recognized as a biome, bringing with it all the mob spawning rules and special effects.

Players have the cool ability to create their own villages, by transporting villagers, giving them a bell, beds, and workstations players can basically set up they own official structure. It will even start spawning iron golems and cats! This is really cool and allows for a lot of maneuverability and creativity. What if you could do the same for any biome?

It wouldn't be simple, my idea is this;

Say I want a cherry blossom biome near my base, or I want to design a cherry blossom biome in a good shape. I would go to a cherry blossom biome, grab a bunch of saplings, and a bunch of pink flowers. By growing at least five cherry blossom trees in the desired location, and placing an appropriate amount of pink flowers (depends on how many trees I planted), and getting rid of other things (like different trees or sunflowers) from the original biome, it becomes a biome in progress. Little particle effects appear to show you that you have accomplished your goal. The next day the grass has changed to the appropriate color, it is now officially a cherry blossom biome! Most importantly it now spawns the correct mobs (in this case, pigs).

This could be more complex, but imagine the benefits!

    (From the person who posted this)

    This is my idea on how it would work, but I recognize theirs probably a better idea out there. There should probably be something about bringing a mob from that biome to the new one, but that wouldn't make sense all the time. Perhaps there would be something else that must be done too, or maybe it takes a couple days. However its done, I think it should be implemented.

    Just too add further clarification here's some more examples.

    -Pale garden; grow at least five pale oak trees. Destroy any other trees, flowers, or underbrush. Place a reasonable amount of pale moss blocks and pale moss carpet. Place plenty of eyeblossoms. The amount of pale moss necessary depends on how many trees you grew. Now the next day the sky will be grey, the grass will be desaturated, and no mobs will spawn there during day! (this was posted while the pale gardens was under development so this might get dated)

    -Mushroom island; replace all grass with mycelium and destroy everything in your chosen area. Than grow at least five giant mushrooms, and the next day mushroom cows will spawn and nothing else in that area.

    Obviously there are some other things that should be talked about, what about underground biomes, nether biomes, and end biomes? I think these should probably only be treatable in the proper place. It would be cool to create a warped forest in the overworld and get naturally spawning endermen all the time. But it would be overpowered.

    Would this work with bringing biomes from other dimensions, EX: A crimson forest in the overworld?
