If Treebeard doesn't believe the Entwives are dead, then I don't believe the Entwives are dead. I actually think this is a good idea in may respects.

So maybe Entwives being around isn't confirmed to be canon, but it's definitely not violating the canon anymore than some other features in the mod that aren't confirmed canon, as long as it can fit in the canon well enough and if it adds more depth to the game's expperience, than there shouldn't be any serious problems.

The alternative would be to say: "There are no Entwives, Sauron killed them all" and leave the Brown Lands to be a place with no purpose for even being in the mod other than being canon. That reason is fine on a book, but too boring for a video game, especially one with a lot of exploration involved like minecraft.
