Hello, welcome to NetHackWiki!

xNetHack is a variant of NetHack 3.7.0's development version.
Its main goals are:
- Fix game balance issues.
- Eliminate tedious and frustrating parts of the game.
- Make uninteresting things more diverse, unique, and varied.
- Experiment with new ideas from the community.
It is not intended to be a "kitchen-sink variant"—the main focus is on enhancing and deepening the existing systems in the game, rather than adding lots of new objects, monsters, and roles willy-nilly.
It is intended to keep up with the development version of vanilla NetHack, and will regularly merge in its latest commits. It has also drawn inspiration from SpliceHack, EvilHack, NetHack Fourk, GruntHack, SliceHack, and various patches from the 3.4.3 era.
Version 7.0 of xNetHack is currently released and is available to play on the hardfought public servers.
xNetHack's source can be found on Github, should you want to compile it yourself.
