Advancements
When Freedonia updated to 1.12.2, the ability to add custom advancements was added. MinecraftOnline has a decent number of custom advancements which you can obtain in the ways listed on this page.
If you had any achievements from 1.7 or before, those are replaced with this system.
SPOILERS AHEAD - Do not continue reading this article unless you want to know how to obtain each advancement.
Easy advancements
MinecraftOnline
This one's quite easy: all you have to do is log in to the server so everyone should have it, except those who have not joined in on 1.12.2 yet.
Read The Rules
Read the rules at the Rules Hall. Pretty self-explanatory and something you should do anyway.
Spawn
A piece of cake! Go to spawn, which you get sent to right after you join the server.
A place to build
Do /wilderness, which should take you to undeveloped land.
Enter the Nexus
Travel to Nexus Central.
Visit the farm
Go to the warp farm. Many newer players do this to get food.
Not as nice as it sounds
Travel to the warp sauna, which many new players are tricked into doing despite a tip saying not to.
Free Loot
Finish the maze by finding the chest room, which has gear from poor saps who melted in the sauna.
The Freedonia Tour
Finish the Freedonia Tour, which has 17 unique locations from 2010 to 2022! Caution: Going through the tour too fast may not count towards the advancement.
The Historical Tour
Explore the Historical Tour, featuring 12 locations from 2010-2013.
The Extended Tour
Explore the Extended Tour, featuring 11 locations from 2014-2022.

Oh, a cookie!
Eat a Reputation Cookie, whether yours or someone else's.
Teleport Bread
Get Teleported Bread by teleporting home or to any warp with bread in your inventory.
Yummy Bread
Eat Teleported Bread.

Medium difficulty advancements
Mutate Bread
Teleport with Teleported Bread and it might completely mutate.
Explorer
Visit every current warp which you can list with /warplist. Made harder by the cooldown (feel free to explore while waiting it out) and needing to keep track of where you've been.
Visit each Nexus hub on MinecraftOnline. This includes the central nexus, hubs and branches which means you have to go to 33 locations!
Into the Borderlands
Reach every Nexus Borderland Hub on MinecraftOnline. Not as hard as Navigator, but there are still 24 locations you have to go to.
Hell on Earth
You have to know the location of the nether recreation on the map in order to get this advancement.
The Old End Entrance
Find one of the original end portals on MinecraftOnline.
Teleporter Malfunction
Reach to Nexus Unknown. See around the map or search the wiki for clues.
Dungeon Destroyer
Go to a server dungeon and fight the mobs! The easiest way to get this is by activating the Shulker Ranch (or being there when someone else does).
Far Far Away
Teleport at least 35,000 m. This was very hard before the 1.12.2 expansion, but the easiest way to get is going to the other end of the expansion, setting home and then going to a warp or somewhere else on the map that is at least 35,000m away from the location.
Repopulation
You can get this by first getting a spawner by breaking a natural one or from hourly gifts, and then placing it and using the command /setspawner to set the mob you want it to spawn.
Reaching New Heights
Build over y 128. This requires you to either spend 100 hours ingame or get 20 reputations, which trolling makes difficult. Since the apparition of warp Farm, it has become very easy to get.
Hard advancements
Popular Destination
Get multiple people to follow your trails. A warp trail may be useful for trail travelers.
Historian
Hardest of the bunch. You must go to every area that had a warp at some point. This is difficult because you can't just /warp to the area, so you will have to get there by other travel means, like elytra, boat or plain old walking. Browsing the wiki helps a lot.
The End of The Rainbow
Kill every colour of shulker at the Shulker Ranch. This is hard because some colours may spawn at the airships, which could kill you by the shulker knocking you into the void, if they spawn at all.
Spawn Seekrits
Find the 12 seekrits around Spawn. This was part of the Easter Egg Hunt 2022 event, and each clue can be found on its page.
Bug Catcher
Find a bug in the game and report it on the issue tracker. Your bug report must be approved to complete this advancement and receive a Bug Net.
Pigchinko

Trick or Treat
