Use the OneClient mods for Minecraft 1.8.9 in Prism Launcher or MultiMC. The instance has Ornithe and every mod in it already, and it needs Java 25. Import it again when you want newer mods.
Prism Launcher imports from a link, so you can skip the download.
The link to paste:
https://data-v2.polyfrost.org/oneclient/bundles/generated/oneclient-1.8.9-ornithe-multimc.zipWorks in MultiMC and the launchers based on it.
You can just use the .mrpack for those. The OneClient modpack is on Modrinth, and Prism Launcher can import it.
