At the moment bats are annoying and occasionally will catch you on fire (they fly through lava then run into you), this is a complete waste of a mob (in my opinion at least) so i was thinking bats should have a rare drop.
The Drop
The drop would have a 30% chance of occurring and it would be a bat wing.
The Use Of The Wing
When brewed into an awkward potion it would become a Jump Potion.
Jump potions at level 1 would allow you to jump 1.5 blocks.
Jump potions at level 2 would allow you to jump 2 blocks.
The Corrupted version would be a Potion of Weight
A potion of weight would only let you jump half a block high.
The main reason for this idea comes from the bat being 100% useless at the moment. Also I think having potions of jump boost/weight would be helpful if used in the right way, catastrophic if used the wrong way( give yourself weight so you get stuck in a cave and cant jump).

I like bats, they add variety. Not every mob needs a use, you know?
