I currently have two running Minecraft servers, kaboom and survival (.chipmunk.land).

So their respective users both have their home directories, containing scripts and server files, in /home.
While yes, these are in fact home directories, they are those of users meant for services, not for actual people to log into. I believe this, as such, clutters the /home directory.
Instead these should probably go in /var or /opt.
(note: as for splitting configs into /etc as per convention, however, that would be too cursed for me; MC servers and their mods/plugins are not designed for said convention)
