Crashes while playing minecraft

This is not on startup like ive seen other reports talking about. When I start playing minecraft i can usually play for anywhere between 10-30 minutes and then minecraft randomly freezes for a few seconds then crashes, i do have java edition, but i have never experienced crashes on it, i have tried checking for updates on windows but that didn't help. I don't know how to fix it and it is very annoying when playing with friends.
