Mods that "Don't feel like Minecraft"

When people talk about mods in Minecraft people sometimes say that a mod feels too modded. But what does that even mean? Obviously this is a very subjective topic and has no clear line, I mean Minecraft has changed so much between present day and beta 15 years ago so everyone's Minecraft is very different from others.
Yet despite that there are times where modded Minecraft feels completely normal, times where people feel that vanilla Minecraft feels modded or sometimes even someone's Minecraft build can look so good that it looks like "it came from another game".
What in your opinion crosses this line?

what are your MUST play mod packs.

So im basically 100% new to minecraft, came to try terrafirma craft as saw it mentioned the Vintage Story sub, and saw all the other mod packs.

i played some hypixel skyblock years ago with friends but thats it. never actually played Minecraft, never went to the end or the nether in vanilla or anything.

i dont plan on play vanilla either.

so to someone who has never dabbled in minecraft modpacks, what would you say are must plays? can be any style modpacks, just the must plays. expert packs, easy packs, tech packs, rpg, whatever.

up to now i have

NomifactoryCEU (This is what im active playing atm)
GTNH (i know how notoriously hard this one is)
SevTech: Age
All of create (create looks cool AF but overwhelming as no idea what does what)
Create above and beyond (was told this and astral are good for learning create?)
Create Astral
TerraFirmaGreg modern (basically why i came originally from vintage story to look still havnt played)

So all of these are tech packs i just realized, so something different would be nice.

I love modding minecraft, but..

I love modding minecraft, but i have a very big problem. Sometimes i just spend a lot of time making modpacks with a theme around them, like create, prehistoric, zombie, etc.. but the problem i have is that, i find the process of making the modpack funner than playing it, for example i can spend 8 hours making the modpack i'm gonna play but i get bored after playing it for 30 minutes, then hop off to never play it again. It's really annoying, what can i do to fix this? Do i try to experiment with other themes or versions? All i currently play is 1.20.1 - 1.21.6.
