Add way to toggle plushies on/off #18

Having Plushies is a great idea! I wanted to try to use the Zombie Plushie to make an iron farm, but the problem is, it's always on as long as it's within an 8 block radius so it never lets the villagers sleep which is required to produce iron golems. After a while, the iron golems stop appearing. Do you have any suggestions for how to make this work? If not, could they be toggled with redstone or something?

I can add a block that when under a scarecrow disables it in the next update. Then you can just use pistons to swap it out when needed

Just to help me manually control it with pistons, how big exactly is the 8 block radius? Is it a cube or a sphere? Is it exactly 8? Does it work through blocks? I know this is a lot, but it's necessary to design a consistent farm.

EDIT: From my tinkering it seems to be an 8-block sphere centred at the middle of the plushie. It also seems to work through blocks. Is this correct? If yes, is it possible to add a config to make this a cube?

yes, it does work through blocks. I probably will not add a config option to change the distance calculation to a cube. but if you can code you are free to add the feature and submit a pull request.
