This was only tested in 1.18 however was compiled in 1.16 so it should work for 1.16+

How can I @ a player?
You can @ a player by using the default prefix "@" or by using whatever prefix you define in the config, followed by the player's name.

How can I make it so that the prefix isn't needed?
You can make the prefix not necessary by changing the "@" in config to "", which in turn will make it so that the only part that is needed in the chat is the player's name.

How do players know they were @ed?
Players will know that they were @ed if they hear a ping from the game, see a message on the player's action bar, or see the message that pops up in chat.

Can I make it so the player doesn't get a message in the action bar?
Yes, in the config you can set "Use Action Bar" to false to disable the action bar from being used in the plugin.
