Your biggest problem is going to be your ram. Your OS is probably using 1 to 1.5 of that, so even playing vanilla Minecraft will be a struggle. On the plus side, ram is cheap and easy to install. Find out how much your computer can use and bump it up.

Ram probably won't be that cheap... If the system only came with 2GB chances are it's DDR2 or older, which makes it a legacy part that isn't made any more. You might have luck on eBay finding someone clearing out their old parts.

One of the scariest things I saw in terms of legacy parts was the price of 250MB hard drives from the early 90's. When 1 Terabyte drives were just over $100US a new 250MB drive was $600US... The reason being that they're needed for maintenance of pre FAT32 systems like old Point-of-Sale systems. We ended up going through about 25 surplus drives @ $10 each to find a good one.

There is still a ton of ddr2 upgrade kits in unsold inventory available online. What you have to watch out for are the replacement laptop batteries that are so far past their shelf life that the laptop won't even notice them. The question is, is his system limited to 4GB max like my old laptop was (which is still pathetic for playing modded Minecraft), or can he bump it up to 8 or 16GB?

Yea, you don't have enough RAM to run any 1.8+ packs. Your best bet is a 1.7 lite pack, which won't have quested or skyblock. You can *try* the 1.7.10 skyblock map... can't remember what it was called offhand, but that's the only one that *might* work on that system.

I would be surprised if the laptop would support more than 4GB, and it may not be upgradable even to 4GB, depending on whether it was intended as a desktop replacement or mid-power mobile device.

Agrarian Skies 2 or Sky Factory 2.5 would probably work, though you honestly might be more playable performance from the 1.6.4 Agrarian Skies 1. While not true skyblocks, Crash Landing (1.6.4) and Regrowth (1.7.10) are relatively resource-light by modern standards, have quests/tech mods, and are pretty robust.

With 2GB ram it'll boil down to what OS the OP is running. Windows XP used to need at least 1.5GB IIRC, Vista needed almost 2GB... With Win 7 that requirement has started shrinking. In comparison Win 10 uses just over 1GB, so it's getting smaller. Also, if this is a laptop the integrated graphics is taking up to an additional 512 MB.

Having more info on the available hardware and software would be nice, but I will say that the only way I see to run MC from the data we have is to use a 32-bit version of Java... This will have a hardware enforced ram limit of 4GB (2^32 bytes). Either 1.6.4 or 1.7.10 was the last version of Minecraft to work with 32-bit Java.

I was just watching a Video from Gaming Nexus on YouTube... They're in Taiwan for Computex and checking out a big market to compare computer part pricing to see if there's a lowering trend.

To the point, when they looked at RAM there is definitely DDR2 and up still available, at least in that area. I'd verify I had the ability to "upgrade" (replacement is probably more likely if this is a laptop), then I'd check Amazon first then eBay to compare prices to get enough ram.
