I am making a pc on pcpartpicker, and it says that the intel i3-6100 and the msi h81m-e33 mATX mobo are not compatible and that the i3 doesn't come with a cooler. Is this true?

The i3-6100 is part of the 6th-gen Intel CPUs (Skylake) that can be plugged in the LGA1151 sockets. The H81 motherboards are older-gen boards that supports the old 4th-gen Intel CPUs (Haswell) and has LGA1150 sockets. So, both are not compatible nor can physically fit.

I'm pretty sure that PCPP doesn't say that the i3 comes without a cooler, unless we're talking about the 7350k.
Also, you didn't have to post here to find the answer, it says right there on the motherboard, socket LGA1150, on the CPU, socket LGA1151.
