+
+# What are we currently working on?
+
+## Portals
+
+As some of you may already know, we started working on a new plugin called [Portals](https://github.com/TheNextLvl-net/portals).  
+The API already works but commands and actual functionality is yet to come.  
+Beta builds will probably arrive within the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned.
+
+## Holograms
+
+_Previously known as HologramAPI_
+
+HologramAPI got a huge rebranding and is now called [Holograms](https://github.com/TheNextLvl-net/holograms).  
+Instead of just an API developers could use to create holograms,
+it is now going to be a proper plugin, everyone can use and enjoy.
+
+There already is an alpha build out, but only to supersede the discontinued HologramAPI.  
+The plugin still lacks all commands and interaction points from within the game,
+but hopefully we are able to ship the first usable release this year.
+
+## PerWorlds
+
+A long requested feature is currently in the making: **Data import from other plugins.**  
+_(e.g. Multiverse-Inventories, MultiInv…)_
+

+
+# Our future plans and ideas
+
+## Broader version support
+
+A big critique point we are often facing is about the game versions we support.  
+To make development and support easier for ourselves we generally only support the most recent game version.  
+But with Mojang dropping more and more updates in a shorter period of time, the amount of users we leave behind is growing with every new version.  
+From a user standpoint I can see how you are not always able to be on the most recent version, especially because of plugins that still want to support Spigot.  
+
+The idea now is to only support the last 3 most recent major versions of the game.  
+(At the time of writing 1.21.10 is the latest version, meaning 1.21.8 and 1.21.6 would also still be supported)  
+
+This comes with a few technical challenges and downsides, we might not be able to immediately support new features as they come out.  
+But on the other hand when a feature finally gets introduced it will be better tested, developed and more stable.
+
+## Backwards compatibility
+
+This is a tough topic for many developers…  
+Personally I always said that no backwards compatibility will ever be provided – BUT, I saw that a lot of users of our plugins are still on 1.21.4  
+(especially with the plugin Worlds)
+
+Due to that we are planning on **TEMPORARILY** bringing back compatibility for that specific version.  
+This does not inherently mean you are always getting new features, **only bug fixes**.
