Building with it

A phantom membrane in an awkward potion makes you drift down instead of falling, and cancels fall damage entirely while it lasts. Elytra pilots keep one on the hotbar, since it turns a bad landing into a slow one.

In practice

Slow falling cancels fall damage entirely for as long as it lasts, which makes it the safety net for elytra flight and for climbing. It also lets you cross gaps that are too wide to jump, since drifting down covers more ground than falling does.
