@mqs This file is just a remnant from a very old version. I'll delete it with the next release. Thanks!
About the sysusers.d and tmpfiles.d stuff: I have long toyed with the idea of switching. I definitely agree that this is superior to the way it is handled now. However, I do not have the time at hand to properly test it and as I know that quite a few use my script and minecraft packages "productively" I am reluctant to roll out the changes just yet. If you are willing to test the changes that would be really awesome.
It could be as easy as
/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/papermc.conf
z /srv/papermc 2775 papermc papermc - -
Z /srv/papermc - papermc papermc - -
and
/usr/lib/sysusers.d/papermc.conf
u papermc - "PaperMC Server" /srv/papermc -

Unfortunately, upstream does not really have proper releases but instead points to build-versions of the software. Note, I will not push every new build of the package to the AUR but I will update the package upon new minecraft releases, e.g. for 1.14.4 to 1.14.5.
