Minecraft server .jar controlled trough python script using subprocess

Question

im trying to make a python script that lets me input commands into the minecraft server. I'm having issues with multiple commands

I want it to run "say test" "list" "save-all" separately but instead, it just runs "say testlistsave-all"

Looks like the program does not know where your individual commands end. How about adding a space or a newline (\n) at the end of each command string. — Jan Willem

You never write the ENTER key.

Do do that, you have to write a newline char \n at the end of each command. (Source)

So, you will have something like that:

MCser.stdin.write(b'say test\n')
MCser.stdin.write(b'list\n')
MCser.stdin.write(b'save-all\n')

You can something like that to run command easier:

def runcmd(mycmd):
   MCser.stdin.write(mycmd)
   MCser.stdin.write(b'\n')

runcmd(b'say test')
runcmd(b'list')
runcmd(b'save-all')
