Opal vs Eternal: Which Minecraft Client Wins in 2026

Opal vs Eternal: Opal's documented $8.99 price, 70 modules, and MC 26.2 support, compared with Eternal's bare intent.store marketplace listing, alias Centauri included.

by trq

Key takeaways
  • Eternal is a paid client also sold as Centauri, listed on the intent.store marketplace. That's the extent of what's public about it.
  • Opal is $8.99, with a publicly documented module count (70), UI stack, and scripting engine you can read about before you pay.
  • Opal runs on MC 26.2, the version being played right now, with combat tuned for BedWars and SkyWars-style minigames.
  • No public price, feature list, or version info exists for Eternal outside its own marketplace page.
  • If you want to know what you're buying before you buy it, that gap is the whole story here.

What we actually know about Eternal

Not much, and that's worth admitting instead of faking a fuller comparison. Eternal shows up in our records under a second name, Centauri, and as a listing on the intent.store marketplace. That's it: no public price, no feature list, no module count, no UI stack, and no supported Minecraft version attached to it anywhere we could verify. That thin a listing isn't evidence of anything shady, it just means the marketplace page is the only place with current answers, since a client sold through a storefront can change its price and feature set without that ever showing up anywhere else. If you're looking at Eternal, read its own listing before you pay.

What $8.99 actually gets you with Opal

Opal costs $8.99. For that you get a Fabric mod for MC 26.2 with 70 modules split across combat, movement, visual, world, and utility, a custom glass UI engine built on Blaze3D for blur, fresnel, refraction, and shadow (laid out with GraalJS and Yoga), and an embedded GraalJS scripting engine that lets you load and unload custom scripts against the client's own APIs at runtime. That last part is rarer than it sounds: most paid clients at this price point don't ship a real scripting host, let alone one built on a full polyglot runtime.

Built for minigame combat, with a quieter set for everywhere else

Opal splits its module set in two. The loud side, flight, scaffold, aggressive combat aids, is tuned for BedWars and SkyWars-style minigame combat. The quiet side, subtle aim, reach, velocity adjustments, is built to stay under the radar instead of being tuned for the same aggressive minigame play as the loud side. Opal's loud side is tuned for that BedWars and SkyWars-style minigame combat specifically; it isn't marketed here as a universal, works-on-every-server toolkit. You're not buying a client that does one thing; you're buying one that's upfront about which of its own features are loud and which aren't.

When Eternal is the better call

Be honest about what you're actually deciding here.

Pros

  • You're already browsing intent.store and want to compare Eternal's current listing directly against other clients sold there
  • You'd rather read a marketplace listing yourself than take a third party's summary of it
  • A documentation gap doesn't prove Eternal is worse, only that we can't verify a claim either way
  • A second public alias (Centauri) suggests some track record beyond a single listing

Cons

  • No publicly documented price anywhere in our records
  • No documented feature list or module count to compare against anything else
  • No documented Minecraft version or UI stack
  • Sold through a marketplace listing rather than a dedicated launcher, so specifics can change without that ever being reflected elsewhere

If what you want is a documented price, a documented feature count, a UI and scripting stack you can read about before paying, and combat tuned for minigame play, that's what Opal gives you at $8.99.
