Phantom Membrane

Quick answer: Kill phantoms - the swooping night mobs that hunt players who have not slept in 3+ days. They drop 0-1 membranes, up to 4 with Looting III.
How to get it
- Kill phantoms - the swooping night mobs that hunt players who have not slept in 3+ days. They drop 0-1 membranes, up to 4 with Looting III
- Sleep near a tamed cat: cats bring morning gifts 70% of the time, and 3.22% of those gifts are a phantom membrane
- Fight phantoms over open ground at dawn - they burn in sunlight, so a morning battle is free loot
Uses
- Repair elytra on an anvil: each membrane restores 108 durability (25%) while keeping all enchantments
- Brew with an awkward potion to make the potion of Slow Falling
- Slow Falling potions are the safest way to fight the ender dragon's knockback and to raid end cities
Renewability
Renewable: phantoms spawn endlessly for insomniacs, and cats keep gifting forever.
