First of all, adding two new items to craft a third seems like a waste of IDs.
Instead, maybe brewing a ghast tear together with speed potions would turn them into flight potions?
Other than that, I do find flight a bit strong, but this seems like it's not too powerful as well as requiring ghast tears, which are already hard to get.
You've sure got an obsession with removing the eyes of things, don't you?
Anywho, no support from me, flight of any kind would severely unbalance PVP, plus really, anything that could be accomplished with this could be done easier and cheaper with a stack of dirt or any other easy to get block.

but fine bat eye drop to 1%, bats are pretty rare anyway.
This is just wrong, you shouldn't be making it harder to get to balance it out, as that doesn't change what it is.
As I suggested before, there is no need for two items that exists purely for the sake of making another item, and I recommend changing it to ghast tears in speed potions. If you do not wish to do so, please tell me instead of completely ignoring my previous post. As for balance, I think what it is right now is good enough, and if a PvP oriented server doesn't want them, they can just use a plugin to disable them.

You would still have to dig up that stack of dirt though,
and dig it up again after you are done. (thus proving santa clause is real.)
time is very valuable to me.
Also last I heard there are plugins to blacklist items (most creative servers seem to ban redstone)
Along with what megabyte just said, this would absolutely break servers. Especially if there are non-enclosed unaccessible areas (By traditional means). Granted, 5-20 seconds isn't a lot of time compared to the others, but to bypass a server function, it's plenty of time.
Personally, there really is not way to balance this, as:
1) Rarity does not balance anything
2) The server issues
3) Its a flight potion. It can't get any less function than that.

So, no support
Like I and others have said you can but blacklist the item. you can also make it so nobody can use potions in the spawn with a custom plugin.
Support. I don't see why people are freaking out over a few seconds worth of flying time, especially if it's hard to get.

Ghast Tear + Speed Potion = NOT hard to get. Plus, as people have stated, making something hard to get doesn't make it balanced.
Now, to state again what others have said, flying in anything but creative isn't meant for survival. Really, it's not. In survival servers, all it takes is maybe 10 seconds of flight to go from an area you CAN be in to one you CAN'T be in. Heck, even 3 seconds could be enough. Plus, imagine CTMs, and other such kind of maps. Scaling that big, dangerous mountain with tons of spawners and lava traps is going to be REALLY HARD, right? Nope! Because of those 20 ghasts you killed, and the sugarcane that just happened to generate in a part of the map, you can fly over all the obstacles gracefully, landing on the safer-looking areas to drink another potion.
The only benefit I see to this idea is when you wanna climb a mountain, but in that case, it's less because it's actually hard, and more because you don't wanna actually climb all the way to the top. And this is where the new Potions of Leaping would come into play.
I'm not against the idea of flying in Minecraft, but it'd be so difficult to implement it in a way that makes it work that it's almost impossible. I will welcome the day someone suggest flight without having the only 'balancer' be it's hard to get, and in a way that wouldn't break or stick-out in the game.

You should see gryphons, it's a great way for balanced flight in survival.
Let's be honest we already have trolls flying around on our servers at a billion miles an hour, adding a potion of flight wouldn't really make much of a difference.
True enough (cheat clients anybody?), but I think this would make it far easier to bypass that system, since you don't need to download a new client and bypass the server cheat defense protection resistance whatever thing-a-ma-bob.
There's nothing to explain. Trolls on servers are already bad, allowing flying would make them a nightmare.
Also, why would you use a custom plugin or a blacklist just to ban 1 item? Yeah, no.
I stand firmly at my point, which is that this is extremely easy to abuse.
Also, it would allow flying in something besides creative, which is just not meant to be.
tell me one thing that they could do worse with a potion of flight that they can't do now. "I can see outside the walls of the spawn area, time to troll with it somehow" I don't understand what you mean.
I really don't see it mostly because I don't go on big servers.
I admit I could be wrong but I would like to see some evidence first as to how you would abuse a few seconds of flight in a protected spawn area.
Most creative servers blacklist redstone and mobs, some survival servers even blacklist redstone.
A flight potion.
It would last for 5 seconds(10 with a emerald), it can stack up to 20 seconds)
You would move at slightly faster than walking speed.
You would ascend at 3 blocks a second.
It would be made from a combination of a ghast tear and a speed potion
You would hover if in the air but fall when it wears out.
Could potentially be used in place of the bucket to safe yourself from fall damage/lava.
It would still be harder to mine while flying.
If its too op in your opinion feel free to suggest what you would change.
Only thing I see this affecting negatively is the anti cheat thing on servers. maybe.
It would be O.K. in singleplayer, but in multiplayer, thirty seconds is a lot of time to escape.
No support, sorry!
I wonder if Muro ever sticks with the same profile picture...<_<

Didn't notice it somehow :s sorry.

pig :s
This is purely based upon your opinion that flying does not fit Minecraft. I suggest you check this out, as it is evident you haven't.
Yeah, great idea! Let's have trolls flying around on servers! Great idea!
No support; do i really need to explain this?

just place a border around it with mc edit.
"oh no they can look outside of the spawn area!"
Yes you do.
No he/she doesn't. Flight potions should never be in game. We have depth strider already that allows us to go faster underwater, flying is overboard.
If you want to fly but still have a challenge in getting that, I consider you should get the Extra Utilities mod and look towards the "Angel Rings".
No support.
just because we can go faster under water doesn't mean we can't fly.
Support. I don't see why people are freaking out over a few seconds worth of flying time, especially if it's hard to get.
