Wurstcreature Science/Behind the scenes

Wurstcreature Science is a fictional organization invented by for the Portal Game.

Origin
Wurstcreature Science is a parody of Aperture Science, a fictional organization in the video game Portal and its sequel. In fact, the in-universe article's History section is largely copied over from the corresponding section on the Portal wiki, adjusted to fit the Minecraft theme.

The Wurstcreature logo combines a logo similar to that of Aperture Science with an image of the character Rufus from Kim Possible. Their slogan is “We do what we can. Because.”, derived from “Aperture Science / We do what we must / Because we can”, lyrics from Portal ' s “Still Alive”. Another canonically older slogan is “Sugar • Cobble • Redstone”.

Role on Wurstmineberg
Besides the Enrichment Centers, which contain puzzles in the spirit of Portal ' s Test Chambers, some community projects, mostly farms, are documented as owned by Wurstcreature Science (sometimes “Wurstcreature Science Innovators” when the project is canonically older). These projects are often given sesquipedalian names to mimic those of Aperture's inventions, a notable exception being the Wither Skelly Farm.

Wurstcreature claims to have invented many elements of Minecraft now taken for granted, such as water drops (“Wurstcreature Science Damageless Long Fall Safety Sign”) and even items like the (“Wurstcreature Science Throwable Quantum Tunnel Inducer”).

Bloody Stupid Caver Johnson
The company's founder and former CEO, Bloody Stupid “It Might Look A Bit Messy Now But Just You Come Back In Five Hundred Years' Time” Caver Johnson, is portrayed as an amalgamation of Bloody Stupid Johnson of Terry Pratchett's Discworld, and Cave Johnson of Valve's Portal. In fact, most of the in-universe article's section on him is copied verbatim from Bloody Stupid Johnson's article on the Discworld Wiki.

Caver Johnson has a street named after him.

Team Wurstcreature
The team consisting of and  is called “Team Wurstcreature”, derived from the fact that so far all Wurstcreature Science Enrichment Centers have been built by the two. The team was originally called “Team ‌” (the second word consisting only of a U+200C ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER), a name chosen with the intent of breaking things, but had to be changed to something clickable for an upcoming USC stats page.
