I think to look for a decent ryzen 5 machine. They refurbished resellers on ebay (if in the US) seem to have meet some pretty good standards. The Ryzen 5 5500 is pretty good. I saw some youtubers run minecraft on it, and it ran pretty well. Check out joysystems.com too. They supply Best Buy with refurbished laptops (especially business models). So, see what they have between 200-250. Answer from NCResident5 on reddit.com

I feel your pain , things are more expensive than ever ! When you say minecraft do you mean vanilla or with mods? Mods can up the requirements for PC hardware. Does it have to be a laptop? A desktop PC could be cheaper. Honestly you're best off looking for a refurbished laptop (acer maybe) .. google search "slickdeals", sign up for it and put in alerts for laptops BUT create a different email address and remember to check that email address each day, I love the slickdeals folks but you will get a TON of emails from them. At the $200 price point sadly you're looking at integrated graphics which is never as good as a laptop having it's own graphics card... when you buy that refurbished/used laptop you want to upgrade the ram as much as you possibly can. Look up the laptop's model number and search by the model number for youtube videos that talk about upgrading the ram and what kind of ram to put in there but also do the research to see the maximum amount of ram the laptop can take , for example cheaper laptops in the $200 range (sadly) can have a 16 GB ram limit - which is not good for gaming, if your CPU has integrated graphics then the laptop could really benefit from that extra ram to run games, even older ones like minecraft. Do NOT buy a laptop with only 8 GB that cannot be upgraded any further, 16 GB is the bare minimum, 32 GB is much better. There's this deal for $300 from Walmart https://www.walmart.com/ip/Acer-Aspire-3-15-6-inch-Laptop-AMD-Ryzen-7-5700U-16GB-RAM-512GB-SSD-Pure-Silver/5262667268 But make sure to read the negative reviews too not just the positive ones so you know what you're getting into.. save EVERYTHING (the box for the laptop, the box the laptop shipped in if they do that, the paperwork, EVERYTHING) in case you want to return it and to be on the safe side assume a 15 day return limit even though the website says until Jan 31st (this is just me being paranoid here :P ) ... play the heck out of the games you mentioned on the laptop "as is" without ram upgrades... after that and if you decide to keep the laptop see if you want to do a ram upgrade (not as scary as it sounds :) ,if someone like me can pop open a laptop and do it you can too :) ) The screen is something you'd want to pay close attention to and see if you can tolerate it for gaming. I strongly recommend a laptop cooler, even a cheap one (fans are great because they'll work as a team with the fans on the laptop to help suck hot air out of the laptop) but even a laptop cooler without fans would help you out too. The laptop can and will get hot playing games so whether the laptop is on your lap or on the table or what not always use that laptop cooler. Post back here if you have any more questions and I'd be happy to offer more opinions :) .. also bear in mind there are people posting here who will know a lot more than I do so if anyone else posts and you look at their reputation and number of posts and they greatly outweigh my own (or if what they're saying just makes more sense than what I'm saying) then of course listen to them instead :)
