Plugins on modpacks?

Am I reading correctly that you can't use plugins on modpacks? Currently running a modpack on bloom.host and trying to add plugins but nothing is working upon startup. Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I've been on servers with certain features that plugins have.

You cannot use plugins on modded platforms, no.
There are things known as hybrids which do add support however break many things, and are unstable + often not performant

!hybrid

Please Avoid Hybrid Servers

Please avoid using server software that combines both mod and plugin APIs, such as Mohist, Magma, Cauldron, Thermos, CatServer, Cardboard, and others. These server software clash, as Bukkit was made for plugins and Forge for mods. Mixing them requires significant changes to the Bukkit API and Forge server code. If not done correctly, both plugins and mods can act strangely. Using these will almost guaranteed cause strange issues that make it near-impossible to assist.

If you are running 1.8 or 1.16.5, a good alternative to these is SpongeForge, a well-engineered solution that allows running Sponge plugins alongside Forge mods. Many Bukkit plugins also have Sponge ports.

So unless I can't add anything to the modpack? No economy or player shop, trying to add some claim protection as well.
