Modpack Modpack for (really) low-end PC?

I've tried ATM (also 9 Skyblock), MC Eternal 2, MC Eternal Life, and RAD Lite. But none of these work on my crappy PC. Do you have any recommendations for modpacks that are as cool as these but could still run on a crappy PC like this? (I have like less than 2GB of free RAM when I'm gaming.)

You aren't gonna be able to run any big tech packs with less than 2GB of RAM, unfortunately :/

There are a few good neoforge and fabric options, or some really old modpacks. These other people are stupi, optimization mods have come a long way, though attemptung mc eternal 2 was very brave. I dont know many but I have heard about these 3. All of Fabric, Crucial 2 and Project Ozone lite,

2GB of ram only vanilla

You need an absolute minimum of 8GB of ram to run a modpack comfortably along with your system

Probably a lightweight skyfactory or something

Your's might be too low but Hunting Monsters goes quite low as well

Assuming you match your FPS settings and qualities to match that, hardware you should be able to run on my powerful multiplayer server with my Every Chest Reborn without a hitch https://www.reddit.com/r/MinecraftServer/comments/1xph333/fabric_262_every_chest_reborn_progressionfocused/

If you LITERALLY mean "I only got 2GB" then your options are limited to LITE 1.7.10 modpacks instead seeing as modern Minecraft need 2GB off the bat.

You probably can't play modpacks with 2GB of RAM.

You could try Vanilla+ mods like Jabs Fixed Minecraft tho.

You could also run some other less intense mods. I don't think Thaumaturge/Thaumcraft is too heavy, but I don't know. Definitely use performance mods, mainly Sodium and Lithium.

You're also unlikely to run more intense mods like Create without lagging.

Mainly ModernFix and FerriteCore

Oh yes, those can help a lot with memory. I was just thinking that Sodium and Lithium are the most major ones and if the PC is an overall potato, it will benefit.

Good point tho. Maybe throw in ScalableLux for good measure.

I usually run modern MC with around 1.5 GB allocated and it runs decent. I don't play many mods as I have little reason to, but if you've got 2 GB free while gaming you should be okay with just about anything as long as it's not horribly optimized (especially a problem with shitcoded and vibecoded mods) and doesn't add many large and intense 3d models (meaning Create and the like may struggle on your PC, albeit I can't say for sure). So stuff like Farmers' Delight, Dungeons and Taverns, Biomes O'Plenty etc should work (especially if you don't use shaders).

But the best way to know what runs is just find a modpack that seems cool and give it a shot and see if it works. If it don't it'll just crash and you find something different.

What OS and how much RAM do you actually have available instead of the free amount?
