What is an XWMC file?

XWMC files mostly belong to Xaero's Minimap. XWMC files are used by Xaero's Minimap in Minecraft to store map cache data. They are ZIP-compressed files that hold details of your world map, such as terrain and biome information.
When the mod loads new areas, it updates these files automatically. They are not game save files and are managed solely by the mod.
Key Details sourced by FilExt.com:

Cached Map Data: They store minimap information to speed up map rendering.

ZIP Format: Standard archive tools (like 7-Zip or WinRAR) can open these files.

Automatic Updates: The mod regenerates them as you explore.
