Artificially create minecraft jungle?

I have a small minecraft server with a few friends. Unfortunately, the nearest jungle is 6,000 blocks away. Have you taken everything you can get there (saplings, etc.), can you create your own jungle with enough saplings in which the animals also spawn?

thanks in advance

ps. Just want to do it in survival, without worldpluging, etc.

Of course it works. You can then let your art and creativity run free. However, Minecraft does not recognize it, so F3 will still display the original biome. I had also often moved forests or deserts to my area through my own work. Was worth it!

Yes, but the animals don't spawn there, so that's just not possible

So they don't spwain?

Then do the animals spawn?

No

Is there another way to spwain pandas etc these animals

The animals you want to spawn only in the jungle biome and the biome of a location can't be changed without mods / plugins.

Sure you can! But do not place 1 seedling per tree, but 4. This is the only way giant trees spawn. You just have to accept that melons and djungel animals won't spawn.

Orders and spawn eggs. So not normal in the game

No, you can't.

Biomes and their properties (color of the grass, which mobs spawn in the biome, etc.) can't be created or changed artificially. You can't move, expand, etc. A biome, either. Biomes are immutable.

If you want mobs out of the jungle, you have to get them from there. There's no other option.

For this I recommend Nether Portals. 1 block in the nether corresponds to 8 blocks in the overworld.

So if you place a nether portal in the jungle, and one with you, then you only have to cover a distance of 750 blocks in the nether instead of the actual 6000 blocks.

Simply build a connection path in the nether and transport the animals over it.

I recommend an ice path + boat. You can then simply transport the mob in the boat:
