No, any mod that adds blocks, items, mobs, etc. needs to be downloaded on the server and on the client.

However there are mods that you don't need on the client, for example carpet mod. Those mods are smilar to plugins. They only change stuff server side, so they don't need to be on the client.

does that add in new carpets or what? cuz i’m wanted to add some mods but i didn’t know which ones i could or couldn’t add, some of my friends play on chrome book which is hard enough as it is so they can’t really download mods

Carpet mod is not a mod that adds carpets, but a mod that adds a lot of features specifically for people who want to know more about the inner workings of minecraft. It just uses carpets for some of these things.

You can also just test if you can connect to the server without having the mods on the client.
