Hello, Im making a mod that has alot of custom swords, the only thing that changes in the sword is the material used to craft it, it has the same crafting pattern for each sword, do I have to write out a json file for each sword?

1) Short answer: yes you do.  I find Excel useful for this (but that's because I use Excel a lot)

 

2) Not-quite-so-short answer - try out the vanilla DataGenerators to automatically generate all the recipes you need

https://github.com/Vazkii/Botania/blob/master/src/main/java/vazkii/botania/data/DataGenerators.java

and

3) somewhat longer answer - 

Write your own custom SpecialRecipe code to generate the appropriate type of sword from a given set of inputs
