Random raspberry pi freeze

My Raspberry Pi, on which I host a Minecraft server, suddenly froze. I cannot not SSH in, nor can I join the Minecraft server. I ran the Minecraft server in Docker, via itzg/docker-minecraft-server. I turned off the Raspberry Pi, took out its microsd and plugged it into my PC, to at least attempt to run the Minecraft server from my PC to see if I still have the data. I tried to copy it with cp, but I got an input-output error. Could this be the filesystem's fault? And how can I fix this? If you need any additional info about this crash, please do not hesitate to ask.

    MicroSD cards aren't designed for a lot of writes. Your card it probably dead. If you must use a RPI with a SD card you should get an enterprise grade MicroSD

    • I think "endurance" cards are where you get something reasonably non-self-destructive, for a modest premium.

      • The enterprise cards are pricey but the can take a beating and have a large write capacity

    • I'll get an M.2 HAT and an ssd

      • That works although its not all that cost effective

        • SSDs are crazy cheap, what are you talking about? I think the added reliability and speed is absolutely worth it

          • Raspberry pis are expensive in general. That's what I meant my not cost effective

            • 100€ for such a perfoant device (for the price) seems like a good deal to me

              • You can get more from a old PC for around the same cost. If it works for you that's good. I want to point out there are other options
