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.

    “He’s dead Jim”

    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.

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

              100€ for such a performant 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
