Documentation rework & flowcharts

Balder Viëtor February 8, 2026 1 min read

Hey all,

We're redoing our documentation with the hope it will be much more clear where to find certain information. Or at the very least have better information per page. Originally I had hoped to do this in the quieter times of December, but one thing let to another and before you know it you're updating every page and significantly adding information that you found lacking.

The MistServer project has grown so big that I figured we needed some extra documentation on how processes get started and more importantly where some of our triggers/webhooks are activated.

MistServer process boot order:

Triggers/webhooks especially were in dire need of something that attempts to explain better when to use what trigger. I'm hoping to add this to the documentation soon. Though we might just have to wait until the full documentation is done and then switch everything over, as the documentation is in risk of being even more chaotic if it has two styles.
