Mace smash attack particles cannot be reduced with the Particles setting

The particles created from a mace's smash attack cannot be reduced by turning the Particles option to a lower setting, such as Decreased, or Minimal. This is a problem, as the smash attack creates a lot of particles which visually clutter the player's screen when preforming the attack. Some players may have difficulty with these particles and their density.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Turn the Particles setting to All

  2. Get a mace

  3. Perform a smash attack from 3 blocks up or higher
    → ✔ Particles function as usual

  4. Turn the Particles setting to Decreased, or Minimal

  5. Repeat step 3
    → ❌ Nothing changes, and the particle count is the same.

Notes:

  1. Assuming these are necessary particles, it would be expected that they would show no matter what the setting is on. Though, how the setting does not decrease the total count of particles is unexpected.
