The /locatebiome command would usually only give the X and Z coordinates. This is usually fine for most biomes, however, with the new lush and dripstone cave biomes, it should give the Y coordinate, instead of using ~ to teleport you to the new coordinates with your current Y value.
With normal biomes, the /locatebiome command should stay as usual, but with cave biomes, it should provide the Y coordinates. This is because, as of 21w41a, biomes can change over the Y axis if there is a cave biome.
Steps to reproduce:
Use either:
/locatebiome minecraft:dripstone_caves
or
/locatebiome minecraft:lush_caves
Will return with the X and Z coordinates of the nearest of that biome, but not the Y coordinates. If you click on the returned coordinates, it will also just run the teleport command with no Y coordinates specified as it usually would with a normal biome.
