1.12.2 how to add multiple recipes for 1 item?

[madmagic]

so i have a block and i made a shapeless recipe for it by combing a gold block with a nether star:

{
    "type": "minecraft:crafting_shapeless",
    "ingredients": [
        {
            "item": "minecraft:gold_block"
        },
        {
            "item": "minecraft:nether_star"
        }
    ],
    "result": {
        "item": "output",
        "count": 1
    }
}
}

but i want to make it so that the the block can be made by puting 9 of the ingots the block is made of in a crafting table. after some searching around i found this code:

"type": "minecraft:crafting_shapeless",
	"ingredients": [
		{
			[
				"item": "minecraft:somewhat0",
				"data": 0
			],
			[
				"item": "minecraft:somewhat1",
				"data": 0
			]
		},
		{
			[
				"item": "minecraft:somewhat2",
				"data": 0
			],
			[
				"item": "minecraft:somewhat3",
				"data": 0
			]
			
		}

 but this doesnt work for me, it says a few times it got ] but expected something else. so what is the correct way of adding multiple recipes for one item?

The correct way would be to make multiple recipe files as far as I know.

[madmagic]

but you cant have duplicate files, how would i do that then?

Recipes don't have to have the same name as their output item, you can call your recipes whatever you want.
