More Information
If you don't want to have custom structures you would have to turn off Dungeons and Taverns aswell as Stellerity in Modrinth before you create a world. If you create a world using Terralith, Tectonic and Continents removing those mods may cause issues for that world. Additionally to play with friends you need to sign in with an essential account. This modpack include mods such as Xaero's World Map, Xaero's Minimap and Freecam which may not be allowed on some servers. If you want to use shine you will have to disable shaders in video settings.
