Verification builds and Platforms:

ver. 1.16.100 multiplayer environments, Realms

Summary:

When hosting a world with an add-on that has custom food items, the animations only play for the Host account. Any other players that join the world have a static item in hand while eating. 

Impact:

This makes content planned for a future release seam broken to players playing multiplayer like on Realms.This makes it very hard for players to tell when an item has been consumed, because the item doesn't move. Since this is a visual bug that is hard to miss with custom edible items, This could potentially lead to poor reviews for any content that is released using custom food items.

Repro Steps:

1. Install the included add-on
2. Load a world with the included add-on that has custom food items - included addon has custom apple - savage:customapple
3. start playing a multiplayer session from the host account
4. join the world from a second account
5. give the second player a customapple - /give @a savage:customapple
6. try to eat the custom apple from the second account
7. No animations play

Observed Results:

host account will see animations play when they eat the custom item, but any multiplayer accounts will have no eating animations when they eat the item.

Expected Results:

eating animations will play for everyone

Notes:

This seams to be an old bug that has been reported here https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-51610.
