What is the best way to make dyeables? Do we need an animated gif of all dyed versions for each dyeable item? What about the recipes that allow multiple dyes, mixing their colours? With the old crafting images I found it often unclear whether the recipe allows arbitrary dye combinations or just a single dye.

The MC wiki seems to do it much more complicated and without gifs. When multiple items are possible (such as multiple dyes), the grid uses Javascript to cycle through a list. When the cursor is placed on the grid, the cycling stops, allowing the reader to read the tooltip. The images itself are sprites from a spritemap, used as background images. That means for any page the browser only has to load one image file to display all different items.
