Terraforming biomes

When a world loads (or is saved?) then the biome assignment should be checked against any influence that the player has had on the world and update it accordingly:

If a player chops down all the trees in a forest, it should now be a planes. If they build a mountain it should be mountains. If they sink a bit hole and fill it with water it should be an ocean. If they plant loads of jungle trees it should become a jungle. If they turn the landscape into a sandscape it becomes a desert... etc.

This would mean that specific biome mobs have a chance to spawn and the weather would change. And the biome specific colour deviation would be applied.

    It'd be intresting, but I think it'd also be hard to add to Minecraft.

    This would be a gamechanger. I completely agree. But I think it would have to involve a very large area of terraforming to do, otherwise it would be to easy. Also, when the biome is more than 100% terraformed, it would show signs of changing. such as water and grass changing slightly, and a rare amount of biome specific mobs spawning.

    Some players may not want this, so it should probably be a gamerule, like /gamerule dobiomechange

    It actually wouldn’t be incredibly difficult to implement, it would probably take a while to load a world, though.
