Performing a mace smash attack on an entity that is standing on top of a shulker entity does not produce particles

(This issue originates from snapshot 24w13a, when the smash attack particles were added)
If the player performs a smash attack onto a player (or entity in general) that is standing on top of a shulker entity, no particles will be created. This is unexpected, as the "crackling" sounds are created, indicating the attacked entity is standing on solid ground.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Spawn a shulker with NoAI

   /summon shulker ~ ~ ~ {NoAI:1b}

2. Place a player or entity on top of the shulker

3. With a mace, fall far enough to perform a smash attack onto the targeted entity

Observed Behavior:

The smash attack sound, and the crackling block sounds will play, the entity will take damage, but no particles will be produced.

Expected Result:

Because shulkers appear as blocks, and their actual block counterparts produce particles, it would be expected that shulkers also would create particles, as they are a solid surface that the player can stand on.
