I have this problem that when I get the tile data of a chest it is empty. I use world.getTileEntity(pos).getTileData(), and that works on one of my custom ones, which looks like this: "{built:1b,multiblock:"test.json",multiblockcenter:[I;-906,5,310]}", but if I print the chest data it is empty ("{}").

Why is that?

I want to pass the data to the ItemStackHelper to get the items it contains.

ItemStackHelper.loadAllItems(container.getTileData(), items);

What do I have to give the getCapability function?

This doesn't work: container.getCapability(IItemHandler.class, EnumFacing.EAST);

 

EDIT:

Got it.

container.getCapability(CapabilityItemHandler.ITEM_HANDLER_CAPABILITY, EnumFacing.EAST);

Yeah, I didn't notice it was nullable. Fixed.
