As has been said by staff many times, they do plan to update the server to 1.12 when plugins are up to date. One of the features of 1.12 is the removal of the vanilla achievement system. Instead, we now have an entirely new system called "Advancements."
Essentially, this was designed to allow lawmakers to create their own achievements, but I see it being quite useful to create a system of Meepcraft Advancements. Essentially, these would be ordinary tasks to which can be customized to an incredible degree. The source code is already built into Minecraft, and all techs would have to do is create a small plugin that stores the custom ones. The system already allows for items to be rewarded, as well. So, it will be similar to the achievements plugin already added, but with more accessibility and purpose. For example, any and all players can view the server advancements directly from the pause menu, after selecting advancements.
By having custom advancements, you can program in special tasks that can only be completed once. One that I thought of already was awarding a gold block upon getting a vote key. Obviously, the staff team would have the ultimate say in what advancements are included, but I believe it would be a great way to incorporate new and old players into the Towny world by having all of the advancements awarded there.
Thanks for reading!
