The particles that appear when slimes jump are visible many (6+) blocks below the slime.
I expect that these particles would not be visible below the slime at all.
The image attached is from a creative world, but I noticed the issue while mining in a survival realm. I have not checked exactly how far below the slime the particles are visible.
