# Gimhook Documentation **NOTE: This page is about the creation of mods. If you want to learn more about the mods available on GimForge, visit the** [**mods**](/gimforge-mods/enhanced-movement.md) **section.** ### Documentation Pages * [Gimhook API](/creating-mods/api.md) * [Gimhook Hooks](/creating-mods/hooks.md) ### What Gimhook is and isn't **What it is:** * A modloader and desktop app for Gimkit * A simple API for building Gimkit mods * Designed for improving the Gimkit Creative map editor **What it isn't:** * Useful for cheating * A tool for using custom assets in Gimkit Creative * Built for non-2D gamemodes ### Why not custom assets? There are 2 reasons, one being technical, and another being non-technical. The first reason is that the modloader loads mods as javascript files, and doesn't have a way (other than base64 URLs, but that would destroy the file size of mods) to load any mod assets. The second reason Josh himself has even told me (and I agree with) is that it could lead to seriously problematic assets being used. Team Fortress 2 has suffered from this problem already with its custom image features. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
