Can I change nature?

Question

In part 3 of my adventures, I would like to find out if there is a way to change biomes.

In part 2, fredley said that it is possible to move terrain from one world to another, but the biomes wouldn't match.

Is there any way I can change the biome of a specific area to, say, Savanna?

Answer

According to this, biomes are dependent on the level seed stored in the world. So, it means that, for every chunks, biomes are not saved in the chunk, but regenerated each time. You only chance a changing a biome would be to change the seed, but it would change every biome on the map, and new chunks won't match the old ones.
