Void Jellies

A suggestion for a mob that would both make the end a bit more lively in the event of an update to that dimension, and possibly grant a fun challenge and a difficult item to obtain.

This mob would spawn in the outer end islands between y0 and y30.

It would be roughly the size of a ghast and drift slowly through the void.

It would be possible to land on top of these creatures, but they can teleport short distances in random directions.

They would look similar to moon jellyfish and possibly give off a faint glow.

They could drop an item useful in brewing, that could grant the drinker a chance to teleport if damage will be taken. 

Sitting upon one would cause it to teleport rapidly, rising above the islands but giving the player little control of where it goes, possibly allowing travel upon the creatures.

    I think end jellyfish would be delightful!

    I have a similar idea, mine still being a big, passive mob that floats in the void between islands. Instead of a ghast, what if your a moon jellyfish meets a slime? All in classic end purple, of course.

    With this idea, you could jump on it and it would have the same effect as a slime block, bouncing you back up, so you have to be practiced at controlling your falls when interacting with them. They could be breedable by feeding them chorus fruits. I'm not sure if it would have to go to a point on the ground the way chorus fruit bounces the player around, or if it could put the jellies at a random y-level. When they spawn/are born, they could have a set y-level they like to stay at, only leaving that y-level for food, when fed, or to mate then teleporting back to their preferred y-level after a set amount of time. That could add a goal to find or create a jelly that stays at a player's ideal y-level, be that as high as possible or a happy middle point.

    They could drop a purple goo that could be used to make crying obsidian. I think a block of the purple goo would also be cool, but I am unsure how it could be differentiated from regular slime. It should do something cool, since it would be a pain to get as the mob likes to hang out over open void.

    For giggle points, it could be the first flying ridable mob, following a chorus fruit on a rod. The only downside is the set elevation and that it moves slower than walking speed.
