So I just created a modded server in version 1.8.9. The server loads up and I'm able to join. I installed (I mean drag the jar file into the server mods folder) Optifine 1.8.9 and the server was able to start up. I then installed the damage indicators mod "1.8". I tried to start the server only to see that the window that I can type commands in stays open for a couple of seconds and then just closes. I tried again and it still happens. I tried removing damage indicators and kept Optifine. The server now starts up.
Now, I'm not too sure if the problem is that damage indicators "1.8" can't be used since it may not be "1.8.9" or if I'm doing something wrong. I tried this with the LittleMaid mod. The mod version was "1.8.x". The same problem occurred until I removed it. I'm not sure what's wrong, but maybe I should try a mod that specifically says that it is 1.8.9 (that isn't Optifine). I'll let you know how it goes.
Edit: Alright, so I installed a Minimap mod on the server that specifically says 1.8.9. Now, the server starts up normal, but I log into the server WITHOUT having that minimap mod installed and I can still be on the server. Is that normal? Should I try a couple of more mods?
I've tried searching for only 1.8.9 mods with one 1.8.8 mod that managed to work. However, there was one mod that didn't work even when it said that it is in 1.8.9, but no big deal I guess since I was just testing the cosmetic mod.

Use only 1.8.9 mods. Get the minimap mod and go on the server and test if it works. Make sure you have all the core and sub mods.
