My girlfriend and I have a world and we want to add some mods but we dont want to start over. Is it possible to add mods without starting over?
#Can I make my vanilla server modded without starting a new world?

Absolutely! You can use your Vanilla world with mods. To do this, you would need to install your modloader or modpack of choice via our JAR menu. Just make sure when you install, opt to keep your current files. 🙂 We've got lots of guides on adding mods. I'll include a few below.
This will help you use the JAR menu to make the server modded rather than Vanilla: https://www.bisecthosting.com/clients/knowledgebase/40/How-to-use-the-JAR-Menu.html
This guide shows the process for adding individual mods to your server: https://www.bisecthosting.com/clients/knowledgebase/47/Adding-custom-mods-to-a-server.html

Also note that any new biomes/blocks added by the mods will only show up in newly explored areas of the map.

There's some other datapacks to check out, too.

do me and my girlfriend need to have the data pack downloaded on our own computers for that to work?

Datapacks belong to the world. So it only has to be on the server.
Mods can be either - optional/unneeded on the client or required on the client.

do i need to do anything for the minecraft version we are using? we are in 1.21.7
Also thank you for your help!

You need to make sure the datapack works in 1.21.7.
Also, 1.21.8 is just bug fixes which includes crashing - should probably update.
