What is a(n) FCM file?
FCM (FCraft World Format) is a binary file format developed by the open source voxel-based game fCraft. It stores 3D world map data, including terrain, trees, player structures and other information. The data is compressed using the Deflate algorithm. The file can be read and modified using fCraft's in-game editor, enabling users to build and manage their virtual spaces.
Worlds created with the editor are stored in FCM files with the ".fcm" extension, they can then be shared via the game's forums or in other online communities. Each world is limited to 65 x 65 x 65 blocks, making them suitable for creative building projects and multiplayer sessions of up to 32 players.
