Can I safely switch computer on LAN?

So recently I started playing a minecraft modpack with my brother on minecraft 1.7.10. So I created a world and opened it to LAN so he could join. Now I'll give you the question:

There is PC A (PC hosting LAN) and B (PC joining LAN). And then there is account 1 (me) and 2 (my brother). So we started off with account 1 on PC A and account 2 joining on PC B. Now account 2 wants to play on PC A because this PC is better. This means account 1 will play on PC B. Will we spawn in with the right progress (inventory, achievements, health, hunger, location, ...) if we do this?

Thanks in advance!

Best Answer

Yes.

You will spawn with the exact same progress you had before if you play on the same world, and if you both keep your usernames (for ex. you used to use xyz username on pc x, you should login with xyz on pc y too), however as you will change your computers, the person who is OP will change to the person who is on the PC which is the host.
