Also, I've noticed that when you add the add-on, even if it's not the latest version, other accounts trying to join the Realm are asked to download larger files. For example, the Naturalist add-on resources weigh 13 MB, but due to a bug, when I join a Realm with Naturalist added, the resources weigh 35 MB! The same thing happens with Tinker's Construct. The resources weigh 17 MB but increase to 45 MB.
I can almost assure you that this generates crashing issues on Nintendo Switch devices as well.
Finally, sometimes as a host, you are asked to download additional resources when you join the Realm, and a parallel set of resources for the add-on you already have downloaded is created in your cache storage.
I've seen cases where people who have struggled with this issue find that, after adding the add-on in a single world, the textures of that add-on are completely corrupted, showing pink slots in the inventory, pink skin, etc. However, I can't confirm 100% how this is related to the aforementioned issues
Same thing happened to me.
