Can I alter the biome of an area (without 3rd-party tools)?
There's already a question on this (with the same exact title). However, there is one big issue: he is using 3rd party editor tool.
Is there any command to edit the biome? If not, can I give myself a grass block that has a texture of a certain command?
I cannot use a 3rd-party editor as I am admin on someone else's realm (and the are unactive)
I have seen maps with custom texture packs and believe I can replace the plains grass with another one (e.g taiga)

As far as I'm aware, no. The biome information is now generated using the seed (since 1.2) and to change that without editing the nbt data is impossible. If you really want the biome changed, ask your friend to backup the world, download it, edit the nbt data, then upload that new world to the realm.

Can you manually change a biome in Minecraft?
Unfortunately, Minecraft does not offer any artifact or instrument to change biomes with in-game logic. Still, there are external alternatives to change a world's biome in Minecraft. However, as they are not in-game options, you need to download them since they qualify as mods.Unity Tutorial: Biome based procedural terrain generation - Part 3 (Painting terrain \u0026 spawning)
