The main place for discussion of EarthBound hacking is starmen.net's PK Hack forum.
There is also a Slack chatroom you can join, which people use as a spiritual successor to the old #pkhax IRC chat from the early 2000s.

CoilSnake, written in Python, is the principal EarthBound hacking utility.
- If you're interested in getting into EarthBound hacking, the CoilSnake Wiki and the CCScript Library are invaluable resources.
- A list of common beginner questions is also being maintained here.
JHack, also known as PK Hack, was an old utility that was abandoned by the community after CoilSnake came out.

You can see a masterpost of all completed and ongoing hacks here.
- Hallow's End and Holiday Hex are short but complete and impressive.
- The Mother 1 Remake Hack is an ongoing recreation of the first game in EarthBound's engine.
- Jeff's No.1 Bass Fishing is also quite good.
- MOTHER Tensei is an ongoing hack set in the Shin Megami Tensei universe with an original cast and story.

Two debug menus are accessible. The boot-up debug menu uses a Kirby sprite as its cursor.
Check out Tomato's Legends of Localization book if you're interested in the various changes made to the game during the localization process.
